Overview:

The ICMA Annual Conference is the largest annual event in the world for local government managers and staff.

Each year, through its highly praised Annual Conference, ICMA offers an abundance of educational, information-sharing, and networking tools to help you manage your community in today's complex environment. Especially in challenging times such as these, the tools, tips, information, and resources you pick up at the conference -- in addition to the opportunities for professional and personal renewal and networking -- are more important than ever.

ICMA's Annual Conference attendees are local government decision makers, managers, administrators, and assistant administrators who serve cities, counties, and regional entities of all sizes. They represent the United States, Canada, and 22 other countries. ICMA's educational exhibits add an unparalleled opportunity for firms to reach this influential group of local government decision makers and positively affect the way that local governments operate and conduct business.

Exhibitors:

Present your products, services, and solutions to local government professionals who have the influence to impact business decisions in their communities. Last year, 380 exhibit booths were showcased, totaling over 30,000 sq. ft. in space!

REASONS TO EXHIBIT AT THE ICMA 2013 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

• Local, regional, state, national, and International exposure. ICMA members represent all 50 states and over 60 countries.
