2009 Philadelphia Legislative Summit - July 20 - 24

The Philadelphia attitude prevails -- cherishing individual liberty, innovation, hard work and a commitment to the next big thing. It's symbolized everywhere, even in the statue commemorating Rocky at the foot of the steps of the Philadelphia Art museum.

NCSL's 2009 Legislative Summit is the next big thing for the states -- a gathering like no other. Where Republicans and Democrats from across the country come together to work on the nation's toughest issues. Where legislative staff gather to sharpen their skills and make the institution strong.

Watch your mail box in late January for the early brochure, and be among the first to come to Philadelphia. Housing and registration will open February 1.
