Joni Ernst | The Gathering 2023

The Gathering is hosted each year by talk radio host Erick Erickson. He brings 1,500 listeners of his nationally syndicated radio program’s 5.5 million listeners together each year to hear from politicians and a broad spectrum of conservative thought leaders. The format is one-on-one conversations with Erickson and additional panel discussions on topics. This year’s theme is “Forward: Which Way,” as conservatives consider various presidential contenders. Topics will focus on candidates’ visions for the future, the problems with AI, how to deal with China economically and as a matter of national security, the rise of Christian nationalism in America, how to restrain government, and how to deal with ESG investment standards.
