Stacey Abrams to Headline SiX 2024 National Conference, Celebrating a Decade of Bold Policy Wins

State Innovation Exchange (SiX) is excited to announce its 2024 National Conference, the first gathering of state legislators post-election, in Atlanta, GA, from December 11 to 13. The conference, themed Irresistible Futures: Moving from Impossible to Inevitable, will feature former Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams as a mainstage speaker, alongside other prominent advocates for racial, gender, and economic justice.

“I am proud to attend the SiX National Conference as SiX empowers state legislators and communities to drive real, transformative change across the country,” said Stacey Abrams, Esq. “The 2024 election cycle has revealed two competing visions for America and this conference is a crucial step toward building the futures we deserve—equitable, just, and resilient for all.”

Marking the 10th anniversary of SiX’s work with state legislators, the conference will bring together hundreds of lawmakers, advocates, and stakeholders from across the country. Attendees will celebrate a decade of bold, people-centered policy achievements and collaborate on strategies for creating a more equitable, resilient, and prosperous future.

“This year’s conference is more than a reflection on the past—it’s a vision for the future. SiX is dedicated to building a democracy where people and their communities are at the center of policymaking, ensuring a more equitable, resilient, and just society. We are honored to host a diverse group of state and national partners from different political backgrounds and geographies. This powerful lineup of leaders and change agents is ready to chart the course toward “Irresistible Futures” and demonstrate our value of collaborative governance.” –Neha Patel and Jessie Ulibarri, SiX Co-Executive Directors
