Conference Theme: "Life and Dignity: A Global Commitment"

In the spirit of Georgetown's Jesuit tradition, our 2025 Conference Theme will be "Life and Dignity: A Global Commitment.” Join us as we explore the profound ways in which life is being protected, or endangered, around the world.

Our speakers will be updated here, on our Instagram, and on our website in the coming weeks.

The largest collegiate pro-life Conference in the nation.

We are the nation's largest, student-run, pro-life Conference, promoting intellectually rigorous discourse on the sanctity of human life, as well as building up a culture of life both within and beyond the Georgetown community. Georgetown students founded the Conference in 2000 and remain both the organizers and facilitators. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the Conference is named in honor of His Eminence John Cardinal O’Connor, who principally committed himself to advocate for the defenseless and eloquently defend pro-life positions.
