Policy Summit

GNDC's Policy Summit is North Dakota's premier public policy event, bringing together business leaders, elected officials, and community stakeholders for bipartisan conversations on issues critical to the state's future.
 
Year after year, this has been the can't-miss event of the season. This is a time when business and policy intersect to tackle the challenges and opportunities shaping North Dakota's economy and communities. We anticipate this to set a tone on topics that are going to come up during the 70th Legislative Assembly.
