About NLC Conferences
NLC conducts two national conventions annually - the Congress of Cities and Exposition which is held in December in a different city each year and the Congressional City Conference which is held in March in
The Congress of Cities and Exposition serves as NLC's "annual convention" and offers a broad range of learning opportunities combined with conducting organizational business. This conference is unique in it partners with the Hosting city to develop educational programs which allow the city to display its accomplishments. Through Mobile Workshops (off property educational sessions), Spouse/Guest Tours (opportunities to visit showcase venues), and a variety of other resources, delegates are offered the chance to explore the city for its educational value. This is the only NLC conference with an exposition. The Exposition is one of the largest exhibits for companies serving municipal needs to come face-to-face with buyers looking for products and services to assist with the changing demands to improve their municipalities.
The Congressional City Conference is NLC's annual legislative conference designed to inform local officials about federal priorities affecting cities and towns and initiate NLC's grassroots advocacy work with the current Congress and administration.
NLC also offers a variety of focused seminars and conferences throughout the year to help local officials examine emerging issues, develop new skills, and connect with other local officials from across the country. All conference and seminars are offered on a fee basis and require separate registration forms that must be completed before the event. Special reduced registration fees are offered to city officials from NLC member cities.
Share ideas, explore new strategies, and make connections to ensure that cities remain centers of opportunity, leadership, and governance.
