EXHIBIT AT THE NATION'S LARGEST GATHERING OF STATE LAWMAKERS.
SHOW OFF
YOU’RE INVITED…TO EXHIBIT AT THE NATION’S LARGEST GATHERING OF STATE LAWMAKERS.
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.
ORGANIZATIONS RETURN EVERY YEAR TO EXHIBIT AT THE NCSL LEGISLATIVE SUMMIT!
SIX OUT OF TEN
• 20% of the nation’s legislators attend the NCSL
Legislative Summit. Overall, this select group
represents the most influential state lawmakers in
the nation.
• Legislative leaders from every state attend the
Legislative Summit. Legislative leaders are the most
powerful in the state; they often control both
legislation and purchasing.
• Legislative committee chairs and members are well-
represented at the Legislative Summit. During the
legislative sessions, these committee members
consider bills in their state that may affect your
organization’s products, services or concerns.
WHO ARE THE MEETING DELEGATES?
Attendees include legislators, senior legislative staff,
state and federal agency personnel, and government
relations managers from corporations, associations and
special interest groups.
WHO ARE THE LEGISLATIVE ATTENDEES?
NCSL’s Legislative Summit is the premier gathering of
the nation’s state government leaders. When you exhibit
at the Legislative Summit, you’ll be meeting the key
decision makers from state legislatures throughout the
country.
