What to Expect

At this year’s Summit, you’ll engage with policy and legislative leaders from Louisiana and across the country to learn about actionable and proven solutions to fix the biggest problems facing Louisiana.

The Pelican Institute will offer inspiration and practical knowledge on key policy issues, including K-12 education, tax and budget, legal and regulatory, technology and innovation, criminal justice, and more. Each session, led by a moderator and a selection of local and national experts, will be set up “interview-style” and will allow for participants to engage in a robust dialogue on these critical issues.
