The Libertarian Party of Florida is having its annual convention and business meeting in West Palm Beach this weekend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Belvedere Road across from the Palm Beach International Airport. Libertarians from around the state are expected to be in attendence to take care of Party business including electing a new chairperson and other leaders within the Party. There will also be several leading Libertarian speakers at the event.
The weekend is set to kick off with a welcoming reception this Friday evening from 5-10PM where they will also have early registration available from 5-7PM. Their business meeting is scheduled from 9:30AM-5PM this Saturday which will also be web streamed live for those unable to attend.

Other speakers scheduled are Jeffrey Nadel, Phillip Blumel, Jim Lark, Alex Snitker and Julian Heicklen. Jeffrey Nadel is a Boca Raton teen who has made media headlines for his work for teen rights and most notably suing the City of West Palm Beach over their teen curfew. Phillip Blumel is the President of U.S. Term Limits who will discuss the corruption found in our political leaders once they have served in office for too many years.

Julian Heicklen is a 78 year old libertarian activist who has made headlines across the nation for being arrested multiple times simply for passing out information to the public. Some of his YouTube videos are legendary.
