About this event

Your voice matters—take this great opportunity to connect and share your concerns and challenges with state legislators.

This year’s event takes a different approach than in past years, with an emphasis on networking with legislators and informal conversations showcasing the needs of your business.

We will bring you up-to-speed on the latest issues from the legislature and the status of the business community’s policy priorities.

And we’ll provide you with the tools and resources to engage with lawmakers.

The policy choices lawmakers make this year will determine the long-term strength and viability of Connecticut’s economic recovery and job growth.

Your presence at Connecticut Business Day sends a strong message that businesses are a part of the solution.

Registration is free, but we strongly encourage you to register in advance.
