Don’t miss your chance to connect with 200+ city service providers and advocates

The best way to experience the Annual Conference and Expo is by planning ahead

By Cal Cities Education Staff

The Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo is the best way for city officials to hear from experts, connect with peers, and learn about the latest legislative news. But don't forget about the second half of the conference — the expo floor!

With over 200 exhibitors, the expo floor will be stuffed with opportunities to discover a wide range of city-focused services and organizations for your city’s common challenges to its unique needs. Sneak a look at the expo floor before the conference to plot your course and get the most out of your time in Long Beach.

While there, be sure to visit the winners of this year’s  Helen Putnam Award for Excellence. The annual award program honors and promotes the outstanding work of member cities throughout the state that have made unique contributions to residents and businesses that have resulted in lower costs or more effective delivery of services.

The expo also has a special pavilion for Cal Cities Partners and an exclusive Speakers Theater brimming with quick, bite-sized education sessions.
