More than 6,000 attendees gathered under heightened security to honor Charlie Kirk's impact on conservative youth activism and a 14-point youth voter shift in 2024, organizers said.
- Conservative host Alex Clark convened a Turning Point USA tribute inside Utah State University's Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on Oct. 1 to honor Charlie Kirk after his death, with heightened security following threats.
- After Kirk's death on September 10 at Utah Valley University and an Arizona memorial featuring President Donald Trump, alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was arrested on September 12 and faces the death penalty.
- Heightened security included Utah State University Police evacuating Old Main after a suspicious package and loud detonation, with all-clear around 4:00 p.m., as roughly 6,400 attendees gathered.

- Kirk's influence extends as he is credited with transforming Turning Point USA and shifting young voters aged 18 to 29 by 14 points to President Donald Trump, while Sen. Mike Lee said Kirk could have become president.
