We are pleased to announce that we are holding a “Congress.gov Public Forum” in the Mumford Room, which is located in the Madison Building, on September 13th, 2023, from 1-3 p.m. EDT. If you are a professional or a concerned citizen who uses Congress.gov regularly to keep up with the latest federal legislative activity, we want to hear from you!

You can register to attend this free event in person here.
If you prefer, you can participate online here.

The Congress.gov Homepage.

During the forum, we will provide you with an update on the enhancements that have been made to the site over the past year, many of which have been inspired by your feedback.

You will also receive an update on the Constitution Annotated, and learn about how the Law Library and the Congress.gov team are working to transition the early congressional data from our legacy Century of Lawmaking site to Congress.gov and Law.gov. In addition, we will provide an update on the Congress.gov API. Most importantly, this forum is a listening session – we want to hear from you about your legislative information needs and how we can better serve them.

If you would like to submit feedback ahead of the public forum, please use our Congress.gov Public Forum Survey Form.
