About the Conference

Airports will take on Capitol Hill for the 2026 AAAE/ACI-NA Washington Legislative Conference. This two-day conference will give airport industry leaders the opportunity to hear directly from members of Congress, administration officials, and Capitol Hill staff about what the airport industry can expect from Washington in the year ahead.

Don’t miss your chance to meet with your members of Congress as we gear up to advance airport priorities in 2026.
