✨ Save the Date. SOTN Returns. More Than Meets The AI 👁️

State of the Net is back on February 9, 2026 — and this year, it’s More Than Meets the AI. As the nation’s premier tech policy conference, State of the Net convenes the most influential voices from Congress, the administration, industry, and civil society to map the policy landscape for the year ahead. Save the date, plan your travel, and budget accordingly — this is the event that will set the tone for 2026.

In its 22nd year, SOTN will be the place to hear from the top policymakers in technology and engage with the key players from industry, government, media, and NGOs.

Registration will open in early fall. In the meantime you can join our pre-registration list to get updates as the program comes together.
