The PRLA Public Affairs Conference is an opportunity for Pennsylvania's hospitality and tourism industries to speak to lawmakers with one unified voice. We hope you'll join us in Harrisburg for the opportunity to connect directly with Pennsylvania's newly elected state house and senate. Hundreds of restaurant owners, hotel operators, and industry leaders will come together with the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association to champion the issues that matter most to our industry. This is your chance to make a difference. Engage lawmakers, address pressing challenges, and advocate for the legislative priorities shaping the future of hospitality and tourism in Pennsylvania.

The PRLA Public Affairs Conference is open to all members!  Cost is $125 per person (additional people you register from your business are at $75 each) and includes several Keynotes and Educational Sessions, Lunch both days, Breakfast on Tuesday and Reception at the state capitol on Monday evening.

If your plans include attending Legislative Day only (June 3), there is no charge for you.
