In an era often defined by division, the Hill Nation Summit stands as a rare and vital arena for civil, constructive, and reasonable discourse. Returning to Washington, D.C. on July 15, 2026, this second annual event—hosted by the powerhouse partnership of The Hill and NewsNation—is designed as a credible and bipartisan platform to ask our powerful speakers just exactly how they plan to fix America.
Why You Can’t Afford to Miss It
The 2026 Summit arrives at a critical juncture for the United States. With the midterm elections looming and a wave of technological disruption reshaping our workforce, the stakes for American policy have never been higher.
The Summit will kickoff with general delegate and exclusive networking breakfast opportunities, providing ample meeting and work space throughout the day, including a lunch break, and we will cap off the day with a cocktail reception.
The Hill Nation Summit is where the news is made and where the future of American policy is debated in real-time. Join us in the heart of the capital this July to engage with Congressional Staffers, C-suite leaders and DC insiders who are shaping our country’s trajectory.
More speakers will be announced.
