What's Next is the major post-election gathering of the Democratic Party, where the leaders, ideas, and debates that will shape the party through 2028 and beyond take center stage. Together, we'll absorb what happened in 2026 and chart where the party goes next. What’s Next, presented by Majority Democrats and sponsored by MD PAC, is the defining convening of the post-election season, bringing together the people who will write the party’s next chapter.
The lessons are still raw and the narrative isn't set.
Every cycle, the party's factions retreat to their corners, rationalize, and hand us the same playbook. Win or lose, better candidates and better campaigns only come from getting the diagnosis right. So we're bringing together the people who actually ran the tough races, knocked the doors, gave the money and cut the ads while the evidence is fresh.
We can debate it now, or live with someone else's narrative for the next two years.
In twenty years it went from reliably red to purple to blue — not by accident, but by investing in people and institutions, building a coalition and then delivering.
Better candidates and better campaigns only come from getting the diagnosis right. These are the questions we are bringing to Denver.
Keynote speakers, debates between competing visions for the party's future, and conversations with leading strategists, opinion leaders and candidates.
Discussions of the lessons from the midterms; organizing opportunities for staff, activists, creators, and students; and showcases for partner organizations leading innovation in the party.
Dinners, parties, and live performances to bring people together.
71 of the people who will write the party's next chapter are already in. More will be announced as the program comes together.
A limited number of invitations are available.
