Now in its second year, Mainstream's annual policy summit is a one-day, nonpartisan convening of state and local policymakers, advocacy and lobbying groups, civic organizations, and grassroots activists for a working look at key policy issues ahead of the upcoming legislative session.
On 12-12-26, this year's Summit, "Leading Beyond the Ballot," takes on issues that will shape Kansas in 2027:
A decision made in one area rarely stays there, and its effects reach budgets, communities, and constituents in ways single-issue conversations tend to miss. Rather than treating each policy area in isolation, the Summit will focus on connecting the thread, collaborative partnerships, and narrative strategies. Join us for plenary sessions that deliver an accurate grounding in the facts from subject-matter experts; and, immersive workshops that find policymakers, advocates, and residents at the same table.
One day gets you an understanding of how these nonpartisan issues fit together and who to talk to. Come curious, and leave ready to put your plan to work in January.
