ECA Legislative Action Day will return to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on Thursday, May 28, 2026!

ECA Legislative Action Day 2025 brought a record-setting group of 170 business and professional events industry leaders and advocates from 30 states to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to meet with their elected officials in support of ECA’s public policy priorities, including tax reform and workforce development.

“What happens in Washington, DC, is critical to the competitiveness of our industry going forward,” said Hervé Sedky, Emerald Holding Inc. President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chair of the ECA board of directors. “That’s why it was great to see the largest Legislative Action Day crowd ever on Capitol Hill carrying the industry’s message forward to the members of Congress who can drive change on our behalf.”

ECA's partners at CNTV were at Legislative Action Day to capture the industry's 'all in' advocacy in action:

 

While Legislative Action Day 2025 has concluded, ECA continues to advocate on behalf of the industry’s policy priorities in Washington, DC, and beyond. In addition, ECA has opportunities for people from across the industry to get involved throughout the year, wherever they are, through the ECA Advocacy Network, the alliance’s one-stop digital advocacy platform.

In 2026, Legislative Action Day will once again be held in conjunction with the Lippman Connects Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF), which will take place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
