About this Event

Impact on the Hill is a three-day convening designed to compress time, elevate signal, and move conversations toward action.

The experience brings together business leaders, capital partners, solution providers, ecosystem builders, and policy-aware groups to engage in structured dialogue, strategy sessions, and working conversations that reflect how decisions are actually made.

Policy is addressed only where it impacts markets, risk, or execution.
There is no lobbying, advocacy, or political programming.

  • Business-first framing
  • Curated participation (not open mic or expo-style)
  • Dialogue-driven formats (keynotes, firesides, labs, strategy rooms)
