This annual event brings members directly into the heart of the legislative process during the General Assembly session, providing an exclusive opportunity for meaningful dialogue, clarity, and influence.

Lobby Day offers a full schedule of private meetings, lectures, and briefings, giving attendees firsthand exposure to the issues shaping Virginia’s business landscape. For over a decade, members have leveraged these interactions to advocate for pro-business policies and strengthen relationships with decision-makers.
NVC complements that experience with Viva Virginia, an evening reception held at a local Richmond restaurant. This reception allows members to continue conversations in a more informal setting, mingling with peers and policymakers alike. Attendees can choose to participate in the morning legislative sessions, the evening reception, or both, tailoring the experience to their schedules and interests.
The NOVA Roadmap guides NVC’s advocacy efforts during the Virginia General Assembly’s legislative session, ensuring that the day’s discussions and priorities are aligned with policies that support business growth and economic vitality in Northern Virginia.
While some members make the day trip to Richmond for this program, others choose to stay overnight. To make the overnight stay more accessible for our members, NVC is proud to team up with this year’s Official Hotel Partner, Hilton, to offer discounted accommodations for attendees. This exclusive offer ensures you remain connected and focused on the day’s legislative discussions, without having to worry about rushing back home the same day. To take advantage of this member discount, book your room before Wednesday, January 7, 2026!
Members interested in staying informed about NVC’s legislative efforts are encouraged to follow the members-only advocacy newsletter, The Bulletin, while the broader business community can stay connected through NVC’s social media channels, newsletters, and other communications.
Lobby Day & Viva Virginia is an essential program for NVC members interested in engaging with Virginia’s policymakers, influencing legislation, and deepening connections within the Northern Virginia business community. As 2026 approaches, NVC looks forward to continuing this tradition of advocacy, education, and engagement.
