Conference Day 1- Fearless 2026 Signature moments: The Capitol Hill Experience

Capitol Hill Experience – SITC Fearless 2026

One of the most powerful moments of the Fearless Stenographers Conference 2026 was our time on Capitol Hill. Some of us have been on Capitol Hill a few times, but this time it was different and special.

As we gathered in Washington, D.C., it was only right that we stepped into the place where decisions are made and voices matter. Walking the grounds together, you could feel the energy shift, this was bigger than a conference. This was about presence, visibility, and understanding our profession’s impact on a national level.

From our group photos on the East steps to the guided tour through Capitol Hill, it was a moment of unity. A reminder that stenographers belong in every room including those that shape policy and the future. We didn’t just visit Capitol Hill… we showed up.

A special thanks to our colleagues on the Hill for making this visit even more special. 

This is what Steno United looks like.
