Why Attend

Come to Washington.
Bring Your Experience.
Add Your Voice.

The CEA Policy Summit is not designed for you to simply sit in an audience. This year, Christian employers will help shape the conversation.

CEA members will join policymakers, administration officials, legal experts, business leaders, and national voices for direct conversations about the policies affecting faith-driven employers -- and the work Christian businesses are doing in communities across America.

Access

Meet the lawmakers, agency officials, and policy leaders writing the rules that govern your business.

Intelligence

Understand what legislation is moving, what it means for Christian employers, and where the legal battles stand today.

Influence

Your presence is participation. Christian employers at the table shape outcomes. Those absent accept whatever is decided without them.

Secure Your Place
This Is Not a Mass Conference.
It Is a Private Delegation.

And this year, CEA members are part of the program.

Selected members will have opportunities to share the challenges facing their organizations, describe how public policy affects their businesses, ask questions directly of national leaders, and highlight how Christian employers are putting their faith into action in their communities.

You won't just attend the Summit. You'll help shape it.

CEA Member Voices

From Main Street to Washington.

Real employers. Real challenges. Real impact.

Washington often debates policies in the abstract. CEA members live with their consequences every day.

Throughout the Summit, selected members will share what they are experiencing inside their organizations -- from workforce and healthcare challenges to regulation, religious liberty, financial policy, and the freedom to operate according to their beliefs.

We'll also highlight Faith in Action: stories of Christian employers serving employees, strengthening families, investing in communities, supporting ministries, and putting biblical principles into practice.

We want Washington to hear directly from the employers CEA represents.

Are you attending and have a story to share?

What is happening in your organization that policymakers should understand?
