The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. will host its 39th Annual Legislative Conference “REINVEST...REBUILD...RENEW”, September 23–26, 2009 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Thousands of elected officials, business and industry leaders, celebrities, media, emerging leaders and everyday Americans descend upon the Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) and its dozens of policy forums, general sessions, massive exhibit showcase, job fair, book signings and vast networking opportunities.

The Congressional Black Caucus – comprised of the African-American members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – headline ALC every year.

U.S. Reps. Chaka Fattah of Pennsylvania and Yvette D. Clarke of New York will serve as honorary co-chairs of ALC '09'.

The conference brings together diverse organizations and individuals to collectively discuss common issues and concerns. Its program includes more than 70 workshops, seminars and information forums on relevant topics that capture and portray the concerns of African Americans. Participants discuss the challenges facing underserved populations, including health care, economic success and failures, global and domestic security as well as highlight successes and provide critical information that will help to build strong communities, organizations and individual families. The conference also features the successful Emerging Leaders Empowerment Series, which is gaining widespread attention as it speaks to our future successors. In addition, the exhibit hall offers demonstrations and social events to complement the substantive content of the conference.

Special events include; Welcome Ceremony, National Town Hall Meeting, Exhibit Showcase, Career/Job Fair, Issue Forums and Brain Trusts, Authors Pavilion, Prayer Breakfast, Gospel Extravaganza, Jazz Forum & Concert, Fashion Show, CBCF Annual Awards Dinner and "The Renaissance*" (Formerly know as The Black Party).
