From
impossible

From Impossible to Inevitable
We lived in a world of the impossible. Where some were born to serve and others to rule. Where some couldn’t speak, and others turned their whims into law. Where your entire life was determined the moment you were born.
But some chose to rebel. They fought against absolutist monarchies, slavery, the subjugation of women, censorship, socialism, and other statist ideas that said one person should rule over another and seemed impossible to change until change was inevitable.
We are the heirs of that tradition.
We’re here to make the impossible inevitable once again.

What people are saying about LibertyCon
I think what’s really incredible about LibertyCon is that you have people coming from literally every single corner of the globe all coming for the same reason – to interact and network with liberty activists, so that we can make our reach greater than the sum of its parts. I think that is that main reason I like coming to LibertyCon.
SPIKE COHEN
I am so excited for LibertyCon 2025. I love the energy, I love the excitement, I love meeting young people who are actually making change around the world – these are people who live the words that they speak.

Do I Need To Register In Advance?
While we allow on-site registration, you are encouraged to register as early as possible so we can accurately estimate attendance and to give yourself time to plan your stay in Washington, DC. You’ll also save money by registering in advance as on-site registration costs more than online registration.
What Is The Dress Code At Libertycon?
The LibertyCon dress code has evolved over the years to match expectations for young professionals in the work force. While this means the dress code is more flexible than it’s been in years past, all attendees are encouraged to consider how their appearance reflects on the liberty movement and to dress their best for the weekend. Students For Liberty leaders are required to dress at least business casual and should contact their Regional Director with any related questions or concerns. The dress code for the Saturday night Awards Dinner is formal.
Can Non-students Attend?
Yes! Non-students are encouraged to attend LibertyCon and will find a great deal of programming for supporters, alumni, and friends of SFL. One aim of the conference is to provide our student leaders with professional contacts in the liberty movement and to provide movement professionals with talented student contacts. It’s a great place to reconnect with fellow liberty advocates and meet the next generation of liberty activists!
Do I Have To Be A Libertarian To Attend?
Nope! Students For Liberty prides itself on taking a “big tent” approach to promoting liberty. This means not only that pro-liberty people of all types and backgrounds are welcome to join in the fun, but also that there’s no requirement to have prior knowledge of libertarian thought, economics, or any particular approach to liberty.
We’re here to discuss ideas and work towards a freer future, which means being welcoming and open to all political perspectives. We’d love to have yours represented!
How Can I Request An Invitation Letter In Order To Obtain A Visa?
Every year, SFL receives dozens of requests for an invitation letter to attend LibertyCon. Because of the overwhelming quantity of requests we have received in the past, SFL’s North America office no longer issues invitation letters. Please locate and contact your local SFL leader to obtain a visa letter. If you are unable to locate someone in your region, please contact [email protected] for help.
Am I Expected To Attend All Sessions And Speakers?
Attending LibertyCon can be overwhelming at times and we understand that not everyone will make it to every session. That said, you’re encouraged to attend as many breakouts and main stage speakers as you can both to show respect to the speakers we’ve invited and to get the most out of your weekend.
