State of the Union Watch Party

Archives Lounge

Join fellow potato industry leaders for a lively State of the Union Watch Party during the Washington Summit! We’ll gather at 9:00 p.m. in the Archives Lounge to watch the President’s address together in a relaxed, social setting—complete with a few fun games and plenty of great conversation.

Connect with colleagues from across the country, hash out the key moments, and dig into the policy priorities that matter most to U.S. potato growers—all while experiencing one of Washington’s biggest annual events as a community. It’s sure to be an a-peeling way to cap off the day on Capitol Hill.
