Leading state policymakers from across the nation are in Alabama this week for the 29th annual National Speakers Conference – an event Alabama leaders see as a prime opportunity to highlight some of the best the state has to offer in history, culture, science and technology.
The important showcase event, slated for Oct. 20-23 in Birmingham and Huntsville, is hosted by Alabama House Speaker Mac McCutcheon. The conference typically draws more than half of all the state speakers in the country, making it the single largest gathering of presiding officers in the nation, according to the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), the nonpartisan, nonprofit national educational organization for statehouse leaders that organizes the annual conference. To date, close to 30 statehouse speakers were confirmed to make the trip to Alabama.
