Held in September of each year, the conference includes workshops, an exhibit hall and unique networking opportunities. Due to its broad appeal, the conference is attended by nearly 500 officials each year.

Budget Workshops
The Budget Workshops are designed for city clerks and finance officers, but are open to all city officials. The workshops, which take place in November and December of each year, provide the information necessary to build a strong foundation of budget knowledge and provide an overview of state requirements for the budget process.

My Legislative Day
In order to develop more direct relationships between cities and the legislators that represent them, this year we are introducing My Legislative Day. The League will work with you to schedule a day where you can discuss your city's issues with your legislators and have an in-depth conversation about active legislation. We hope that this will help foster a closer relationship between your city and the legislators that represent you at the capitol.
