The two-day event, co-organized by Polish broadcaster Telewizja Republika, is expected to feature US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem among its speakers, according to organizers.

Duda attended CPAC in Washington in February, where he held bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump and met CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp and board member Mercedes Schlapp, the Polish President's Office said on Thursday.

Founded in 1973, CPAC is the largest annual assembly of US conservative activists and politicians.

Since 2022, the conference has expanded to Europe, with Hungary hosting the first non-US editions.
