The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) is a national organization that provides research to the states on public policy topics, lobbies Washington on behalf of the states and convenes meetings throughout the year to connect legislators and legislative staff across the nation. This year’s big summit is being held in the Derby city where thousands are expected to learn about artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, economic development, child care, education and more. 

KET is Kentucky’s largest classroom, where learning comes to life for more than two million people each week via television, online and mobile. Learn more about Kentucky’s preeminent public media organization at KET.org, on Twitter @KET and at facebook.com/KET.
