At the convention, delegates elected national officers, heard rallying speakers and attended a full day of educational campaign training to better spread the message of liberty and elect candidates.

Elected were National Chair Angela McArdle, Vice-Chair Joshua Smith, Treasurer Todd Hagopian, and Secretary Caryn Ann Harlos.

To represent Region Three (Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky), Dustin Nanna was re-elected as the representative with Connor Nepomuceno as the alternate.

Speakers included 2020 Presidential Candidate Jo Jorgensen, 2020 Vice Presidential Candidate Spike Cohen, former congressman Justin Amash and Ron Paul who both switched from Republican to Libertarian during their political lives, the exiled Edward Snowden (virtually), and the convention closed with 2020 Indiana Gubernatorial Candidate Donald Rainwater.

Indiana sent 30 delegates. Over 1,000 voting delegates were always on the floor during business sessions.
