2026 LABI Annual Meeting

Description

Join Ellevate LA as we attend LABI's 2025 Annual Meeting!


LABI is hosting its 2026 Annual Meeting, presented by Cajun Industries, on Wednesday, February 11, at the Crowne Plaza Executive Center in Baton Rouge.

Over the past two years, Louisiana has experienced an unprecedented level of economic momentum. Major investments are landing in every corner of our state, and national observers are taking notice. With aligned leadership committed to common-sense reforms, Louisiana is finally making headlines for the right reasons, and the business community is at the center of this progress.

Guided in part by LABI’s LA Driven strategic plan, Louisiana has begun to modernize its tax structure, strengthen its workforce pipeline, improve its legal climate, and expand its competitive edge in energy, innovation and advanced manufacturing. These wins are not isolated. They are the foundation of a stronger, more resilient Louisiana capable of attracting new jobs, new industries and new opportunities for generations to come.

As our state climbs the rankings and captures the attention of boardrooms across the country, LABI is calling on business leaders to lean in and continue pushing forward. We are Going for Growth—refusing to settle, refusing to be defined by the status quo and refusing to let momentum stall. Instead, we are championing the progress that is drawing companies to Louisiana rather than driving them away.

LABI’s Annual Meeting will bring this story to life. It is a gathering designed not only to recognize the progress we’ve made, but to equip the business community with the insight, strategy and inspiration needed to keep Louisiana on a trajectory of growth. Attendees will hear directly from the leaders influencing policy, moving investment and driving competitiveness. They will walk away informed, energized and empowered to help Louisiana reach its full potential.

This is our moment. Together, we intend to make the most of it.
