Event Themes

Balance of Power

Checks and balances, DOGE and courts, immigration and states' rights. The balance of power is being tested daily throughout the nation. What does it mean for the mid-terms and the future of politics?

Navigating the New Agenda

Policy and politics are moving faster than ever before to align with Trump’s second term goals. How will policymakers, businesses and advocates navigate this new agenda?

Rough Trade

The will they, won't they dynamic playing out in the global trade ecosystem has dominated headlines since the start of President Trump's second term. Where will tariffs stand just ahead of the summer recess?

Changing the Tax Code

Revamping the tax system to eliminate income taxes for most Americans sounds promising, but will it pass? And will tariffs be the new backbone of funding the U.S. government?

A Good Defense

A TV personality and billionaire investor are perched as the top two policymakers at the Pentagon. Where does the U.S. stand in terms of American competitiveness? Where is it racing ahead and where is it falling behind? How will the Pentagon’s bureaucratic rules for buying weapons and other equipment be transformed?

Trump's Golden Age Economy

Storm clouds are forming on the U.S. economy as fears of an economic slowdown rise. Six months into the President's term, will the strategy spell relief or recession?

Getting Up to Speed

Energy, housing, health care, technology, manufacturing and more - massive industries shifting in uncertain times. What is the outlook for doing business in America and with America.

Venue

In 2022, we were first to call control of Congress and also covered 16,000 local races.
