In 1983, Campaigns & Elections (Politics Magazine) launched a campaign training program that has gone on to help more than 10,000 politicos win campaigns around the world.  

 The flagship program, conducted in Washington every June, draws several hundred visitors.  The diverse crowd comes from all over the ideological spectrum and from about fifteen countries.  Campaigns & Elections specializes in ensuring under-represented groups get the proper training they need and deserve.

 This is the biggest and most successful political campaign training operation in the world.  The training conference is scheduled for June 11-13, 2009 at the Washington Marriott.  (see below for details)
