ISSUES

At the state level, 195,000 pieces of legislation are

introduced biennially. Of these, 45,000 become law. If

your organization is concerned about an issue, NCSL’s

Legislative Summit offers you the premier opportunity

to get your message to the right people.

4,000,000+ PEOPLE

If your organization provides employee

benefits — insurance, health care and educational

opportunities — NCSL’s Legislative Summit allows

you to reach state governments, often the largest

employer in the state. Nationwide, state governments

employ more than 4 million men and women.

WHY TARGET THE STATES?

Innovative, creative ideas for confronting and solving

serious problems such as transportation funding, energy

policy, immigration, education, healthcare and many

others begin in the states. How lawmakers shape policies

and buy products and services will affect the way you

do business.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

If you have a product or service to sell to the states,

you need to exhibit at NCSL’s Legislative Summit. The

states spend more than $100 billion a year on goods

and services, such as office equipment and supplies,

telecommunications, computer hardware and software,

waste treatment and research.

WHAT IS NCSL?

The National Conference of State Legislatures is the

bipartisan organization that serves the legislators and

staffs of the states, commonwealths and territories.

NCSL provides research, technical assistance and

opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on

the most pressing state issues and is an effective and

respected advocate for the interests of the states in the

American federal system.

WHAT IS THE NCSL LEGISLATIVE SUMMIT?

Each summer, NCSL brings thousands of legislators

and staff together for its Legislative Summit, the largest

and most substantive meeting of its kind in the nation.

The Legislative Summit provides more than 150

informative sessions and presents nationally renowned

speakers on the most pressing issues. Speakers

have included the president of the United States,

congressional leaders, cabinet members and experts

from universities, think tanks and the private sector.
