For the past year, we’ve been shouting from the rooftops to help our industry, our friends, our communities, recover from this pandemic.
June marks the time of year when we tell our stories directly to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. during ECA’s Legislative Action Day.
Our voices matter. Now more than ever.
On June 1, we hosted a program designed to give you the tools you need to effectively advocate on behalf of the industry. Who to contact, how to contact and what to say.

On June 2, we divided into smaller groups for in-depth video conferences with key legislators. Each group had designated spokespeople to lead the meetings.
The focus of the 2021 Legislative Action Day was the Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act (S.477/H.R. 1346). This important legislation includes a three-year convention and trade show restart tax credit that would help our industry bring back jobs by encouraging exhibitors and attendees to return to face-to-face business events.
