About this Event
This year’s conference brings together local government professionals for a full day of connection, insight, and practical learning.
The day begins with a keynote from ICMA CEO and Executive Director Julia Novak, setting the tone for thoughtful and forward-looking leadership. Breakout sessions will focus on leading with energy and purpose, navigating burnout, stepping up with or without formal authority, preparing for the manager’s role, and exploring practical topics that shape our daily work — from economic development tools to police liability. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in open, candid dialogue with experienced leaders.
Throughout the day, there will be time to connect with colleagues from across the state, recognize achievements during lunch and awards, and continue conversations at an informal networking social at Tapville Social.
Designed to provide fresh perspective and actionable takeaways, this conference offers meaningful opportunities to strengthen skills and return to your organization re-energized. Full agenda and conference brochure coming soon
