Legislative Briefing and Reception
February 17, 2025 | The AI Heartland: How Iowa is Cultivating the Future of Artificial Intelligence
Over 350 people gathered at the Iowa Events Center in Downtown Des Moines on Wednesday, January 15, as ABI hosted its annual Legislative Briefing and Reception. The Legislative Briefing was highlighted by remarks from ABI Vice President Public Policy JD Davis, ABI Senior Director Public Policy Brad Hartkopf, and ABI President Nicole Crain.
The ABI public policy team previewed the 2025 Iowa legislative session and unveiled ABI’s 2025 legislative priorities: taxes, workforce, and regulatory reform. Attendees were challenged to get involved by participating in Business Day in Des Moines on March 12, signing up for a public policy committee, attending regional meetings in May, and donating to Iowa Industry Political Action Committee (IIPAC).
The Legislative Briefing was followed by the Legislative Reception where ABI members, legislators, and business leaders from all over the state took advantage of the opportunity to connect with state officials. The reception is one of the best-attended events of the legislative session and ABI’s second-largest annual event. ABI
