NAIFA's Congressional Conference

By NAIFA-Wyoming on 2/3/26 4:59 PM

The Premier Advocacy Event for Financial Professionals

May 18-19, 2026 | Capital Hilton | Washington, D.C.

About the Event

Every year, NAIFA members from all 50 states come together in Washington, D.C., for the Congressional Conference, the signature advocacy event for the financial service profession.

This is your opportunity to stand united with fellow advisors, tell your story directly to lawmakers, and help shape the policies that affect your practice, your clients, and Main Street families across the country.

Through your presence on Capitol Hill, you represent the trusted advisors who ensure Americans can save, plan, protect, and retire with dignity. Your voice is essential and policymakers want to hear it.

Two Powerful Days

Day One (May 18): Training, Messaging & Mission Alignment

Our first day equips every attendee, from returning advocates to first-timers, with the clarity, confidence, and unified message needed to make a real impact. You’ll receive in-depth policy briefings, advocacy training, and expert insights.

Day Two (May 19): Day on the Hill

This is when your training becomes action. NAIFA members meet with senators, representatives, and congressional staff to advocate for policies that protect consumers, support small businesses, and strengthen the work you do every day as a trusted financial professional.
