2026 Lobby Day 
February 3-4, 2026
Washington, D.C.

*FIA Member Only Event

Why Attend:
     •   It is vital to meet lawmakers to establish lines of communication and relationships
     •   We need your assistance making unfair trade and labor shortages visible and to work with lawmakers
          on solutions.
     •   EVERY SINGLE MEMBER VOICE MATTERS! Lobby Day is critical for establishing contact with
          lawmakers to get them to visit our plants and get more invested in our industry's success
          and survival.

In partnership with our lobby firm (Inside Beltway - led by Omar Nashashibi), we will be organizing meetings with key members of the U.S. House and Senate along with leading Lobby Day attendees to visits on Capitol Hill. This partnership allows FIA to expand its reach on Capitol Hill immensely. We will secure visits and presentations from important keynote presenters to maximize your time and visit. If you have questions about Lobby Day, please contact Laura Johnson at laura@forging.org.

A week prior to Lobby Day, Inside Beltway will host a virtual overview of Lobby Day and highlight our legislative priorities for all attendees. You will be sent an invite prior to the meeting.
