The Libertarian Party 2014 national convention is scheduled to be held later this week in Columbus.

While Columbus has been courting the Democrats (pending) and the Republicans (unsuccessfully) for 2016, the nation�s third largest party has said yes to the city.

The convention will run from Thursday to Sunday at the Hyatt Regency, and breakout sessions on specific interests are on the agenda. Friday�s activities include a keynote address from Larry Reed, the author of Are We Good Enough for Liberty?, a session on campus organizing, and one titled �Winning Liberty using Popular Culture.�

Saturday�s topics will include marijuana and a session on �Two-party system refugees.�

Anyone can attend the sessions - for a price. Registration prices range from $410 for all sessions, meals and events, to $20 for a breakfast speech (meal not included.)
