During the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with hundreds of construction colleagues in the nation’s capital and get the latest updates on critical issues affecting the construction industry, including health care reform, union-only project labor agreements, job creation and the culture of union favoritism. 

There also will be time scheduled throughout the conference for attendees to go on coordinated visits to Congress and federal agencies to advance merit shop initiatives with representatives. This is a critical opportunity for ABC members to get involved and speak out on behalf of merit shop contractors. 

In addition, participants will hear from guest speakers James Carville and Mary Matalin, coauthors of the bestselling memoir, All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, who will give audiences a look at today’s important political issues, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at Washington politics.
