Not all networking events are created equal.

📍 An intimate, conversation-friendly setting
🤝 Time to actually connect (no crowded room, no rush)

This is networking done right.

Testimony doesn’t end when the hearing adjourns—it’s just getting started.

In today’s fast-moving, media-driven landscape, how your message performs outside the room can matter just as much as what’s said inside it.

Join William LaForge for an inside look at how modern congressional testimony is being shaped, delivered, and amplified—and what that means for today’s advocates.

Most organizations say they want “partners”…

…but still treat service providers like vendors.

For professionals who rely on service providers every day, this discussion offers real-world insight into how to maximize those partnerships, avoid common pitfalls, and leverage outside expertise more strategically. It’s an opportunity to rethink how we engage providers—not as vendors, but as true partners—and to walk away with practical ideas that strengthen performance, efficiency, and impact in an ever-changing landscape.

Congressional testimony isn’t just about what’s said in the room anymore—it’s about how it lives beyond it.

Join us on May 20 as William LaForge, author of Testifying Before Congress, breaks down how advocates and lobbyists are adapting to a media-driven hearing environment where soundbites, headlines, and digital amplification shape outcomes.

This session goes beyond the basics to explore how to craft testimony that resonates with lawmakers, staff, media, and the public—simultaneously.

Service providers aren’t on the sidelines anymore.

They’re embedded in the day-to-day strategy, ex*****on, and outcomes across advocacy, communications, compliance, and more.

This town hall-style discussion brings those contributions to the forefront, creating an open and candid dialogue about where service providers are delivering the most value, where expectations are evolving, and how their role continues to expand.

A real conversation about their role, impact, and where things are headed next.
