21st Annual NASC
Sportsman-Legislator Summit
The ONLY national conference for state legislators dedicated to advancing America's hunting, fishing, recreational shooting, and trapping heritage.
Hosted by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, the Annual NASC Sportsman-Legislator Summit is the premier legislative event of the year that brings together sportsmen's caucus members, NGO representatives, key staff from state and federal fish and wildlife agencies, the outdoor industry, and other conservation policy professionals for three days of educational programming, networking, and planning, to ensure the interests of sportsmen and women are protected in state capitols throughout the nation.
The multi-day event provides a venue for state legislators to discuss policy issues and share information relevant to our time-honored sportsmen's heritage. Additionally, the NASC Summit provides an opportunity to celebrate past achievements, develop a vision for future successes, and highlight the contributions of sportsmen and women to conservation.
