A Century of Innovation Since 1914, the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Annual Conference has been the premier gathering for local government management professionals. It’s where they share and discover new ideas, strategies, resources, and solutions for managing local governments in today’s complex environment. With four and a half days of learning, inspiration, and connection, attendees leave equipped with the tools and support they need to make their communities better places to live, work, and play. No other local government management conference offers the same level of programming, exhibitors, or networking opportunities that the ICMA conference provides. The 2024 ICMA Annual Conference offers education sessions, impactful keynote speakers, a robust Exhibit Hall, and unique networking opportunities. All events take place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center unless otherwise noted.
