NCSL's State Legislatures Magazine Summit 2024 issue served as a program and more for the 5,500 attendees of NCSL's 2024 Legislative Summit, the nation's largest gathering of state legislators and staff from around the country. The issue was designed to inform and entertain, including features on restaurants and attractions the local political people love, profiles of Kentucky's legislative leaders, stories on the "Bourbon Capital of the World" and profiles of a legislative staffer who went from cleaning the Capitol to working on the Legislative Research Commission and a back-of-the-book map section that showed where states stand on topics both serious and whimsical. The cover, created by a local artist, and was made into a poster as a free keepsake for Summit participants, and more than 200 attendees stood in line to have the artist sign their copy. Attendees were observed reading it between sessions and at meals, and the communications team received many positive comments about the how useful and engaging the content was. The 4,000 copies sent to Summit were snapped up, and we had to print 200 more after the conference to fulfill requests.
