The 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is currently underway with a slew of ambitious Republicans eyeing bids for the party's 2024 nomination. They are using the two days ahead of former president Donald Trump's appearance at this year's installment to begin staking their claims as the eventual leaders of the movement built around the ex-POTUS.

There are three-days worth of speakers who are set to take part in the annual meeting. This year will see conservative lawmakers, activities and Republican party officials converge in Orlando, Florida. The conference, hosted by the American Conservative Union (ACU), will culminate on Sunday, February 28, with Trump’s first public speech since leaving office. Reports suggest he will announce a run for office in 2024.

Some familiar faces are likely to be missing at the event such as former vice president Mike Pence, who reportedly turned down an invitation to speak at CPAC. Republican senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, on the other hand, reportedly didn't receive an invitation. This follows recent criticism of Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol riots, and a behind-the-scenes power struggle among Republicans in Congress.

Here’s a list of all the speakers at CPAC, and where you can watch it.
