LA Live! Campus

THANKS EVERYONE WHO CAME WITH THE EBYD DELEGATION TO CONVENTION! WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME IN LA!!

Get excited!  The California Democratic Party (CDP) and California Young Democrats (CYD) will hold their 2010 State Convention in Los Angeles at LA Live this April!

The state convention is an exciting time where politicians and activists from all over the state and nation come to meet and talk to fellow Democrats and vote on key party issues that affect our state.

This is EBYD’s official Convention web-page.  This site will hopefully serve as our members one-stop-shop to help them make the trek to LA.  Be sure to check back often for new information as we get it.

You can now open our Convention pages as a PDF for easy printing:

When is Convention?

Convention will be held from Friday, April 16 to Sunday, April 18.

Note: Those volunteering with the CDP at Convention are required to attend a mandatory training on the evening of Thursday, April 15.

Convention will be held at LA Live, aka the Los Angeles Convention Center Complex in Downtown Los Angeles.

Most Convention activities will take place at the JW Marriott Hotel, while General Session will be held at the LA Convention Center building.

How Do I Sign Up?

Going to convention is easy.  For the CYD part, you will need to visit their website at www.youngdems.org and register online.  Yes, this costs money.  You need to do this in order to attend the CYD Convention.  YOU MUST REGISTER BY APRIL 9th!!

Also, please email Reuben at reuben@ebyd.org to let him know you are going so we can keep track of our delegation.

The CDP Convention also costs money but works a little differently.  Convention is primarily for Delegates but is open to the public.  Luckily, registering with the CYD Convention also gets you an observer pass to the CDP Convention.  If you don’t register for CYD Convention but still want to attend the CDP Convention, you must buy the Observer Pass.

Who’s Paying for This?

Everyone is responsible for arranging and paying for their own transportation and accommodation to and from Los Angeles.  EBYD will be working to arrange carpools for those who want to drive to LA and will provide information on where to stay.
