State of Our State Conference is ASU Morrison Institute for Public Policy's annual signature event. Since 2009, the SOS Conference has examined key Arizona issues ranging from structural deficits to criminal justice reform to education and workforce development.

This year's focus will be on our changing electorate, including the impact of independent voters - both in registration numbers and as a possible bridge over the partisan divide of governance.

Also, post-election analysis: What Election 2016 means and where do we go from here?
