PHOENIX — Vice President JD Vance is expected to participate in Turning Point USA's AmericaFest conference later on in December at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Vance is listed as one of several speakers scheduled to participate in the annual event expected to take place Dec. 18-21. This year's conference is being described as a tribute to Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September during an event in Utah.

"This year’s event will be unlike any other - a powerful celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of our founder, Charlie Kirk," a description of the event states.

Following Kirk's death, Vice President Vance notably escorted Kirk's family back to Arizona and later attended a memorial service for Kirk at State Farm Stadium.
