On Thursday, October 13, The Heartland Institute hosted its Seventh Emerging Issues Forum (EIF), a day-long policy conference in Chicago that brought more than 100 elected officials, policy experts, and Heartland supporters from around the country together to discuss the biggest public policy issues on the horizon.  The event took place at the University Club, 76 East Monroe Street in downtown Chicago.

Prominent policy experts from across the country were featured in panel discussions addressing a wide range of issues, including climate change, budgets, education, health care, technology, and more.

The goal of the EIF every year is to give lawmakers insight into new issues they may face … and the innovative free-market policy ideas that are being developed to solve them. This event looked at the problems state lawmakers are likely to face as a result of new federal laws and the continuing economic struggles. It also shed light on trends in policy from across the country.
