Following a hiatus of eight years, New Mexico State University is bringing the Domenici Public Policy Conference back to Las Cruces, re-establishing the university as a place where national leaders, policymakers, experts and students can come together to engage in substantive conversations about the issues shaping the nation and the world.

The conference will take place Sept. 8 and 9 at the Las Cruces Convention Center, adjacent to the NMSU campus, with a lineup of nationally recognized leaders examining the future of democracy, artificial intelligence, national security, energy geopolitics and the 2026 elections.
