The Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry will kick off the 2026 legislative session with its annual Legislative Forecast Luncheon on Friday, January 9 at the Phoenix Convention Center, bringing together Arizona’s top elected leaders and business community stakeholders for a timely discussion of the policy landscape ahead.
The event, one of the Chamber’s signature convenings each year, will feature a moderated conversation with state House and Senate legislative leaders, led by John Hook of FOX 10 Phoenix. The panel is expected to address major themes likely to shape the 2026 session, including the state budget, economic competitiveness, and how federal policies are affecting state-level decision-making.
In addition to the legislative leadership panel, attendees will hear directly from Gov. Katie Hobbs, who will sit down for an on-stage conversation with Arizona Chamber President and CEO Danny Seiden. The discussion will provide insight into the governor’s priorities as lawmakers return to the Capitol, as well as her perspective on Arizona’s economic outlook and policy challenges in the year ahead.
The Legislative Forecast Luncheon traditionally draws a broad cross-section of Arizona’s business, civic, and policy leadership and serves as an early marker for where consensus and potential friction may emerge during the session. For employers and industry leaders, the event offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from decision-makers and better understand how legislative dynamics could affect Arizona’s economy.
Additional details, including registration information, are available through the Arizona Chamber.
