About the 2024 Democratic National Convention
The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) is the official arm of the Democratic National Committee responsible for planning the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19-22, 2024. The Democratic National Convention is the formal event where Democrats from all 50 states and the U.S. territories will gather in Chicago to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President of the United States.

The DNCC aims to build a platform for Democrats to tell our story to the American people about a proven track record of historic accomplishments and the stakes of the election.
