Registration Open for Hill Day 2025!

We are excited to announce Hill Day 2025!

Hill Day will span two days, with a Public Policy Institute program on Oct. 7 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel and meetings on Capitol Hill slated for Oct. 8.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the country and to share your important stories directly with the people who represent you in Washington, D.C.

While Hill visits are open to all, space will limit the Public Policy Institute to 400 registrants.

Attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging, however, hotel rooms can be booked through the Omni Shoreham at a discounted group rate once you’ve registered. Group transportation between the hotel and Capitol Hill will be offered at set times.

Note on potential shutdown: If Congress does not reach a spending agreement by Sept. 30, there may be a government shutdown starting Oct. 1. D.C. offices will remain open, however, and staff meetings can still occur. More updates will be provided if a shutdown appears likely.

More details will be forthcoming. We look forward to seeing you there!
