Call for Conference Session Proposals for 2019 City Managers is Now Open

Apr 19, 2018
The call for proposals is an opportunity to share best practices, innovative approaches, as well as research and information with managers at their largest annual gathering in California. 
 
This three-day conference that includes general sessions, workshops, and networking, is geared toward California city managers and others in the profession. For 2019, managers interested in hearing about topics such as homelessness solutions, working fluidly with community groups and councils, pension, infrastructure, and leadership in tough times.
 
The last conference, held in January 2018, featured a wide range of sessions on a wide variety of topics including succession planning, pensions, high-performing councils, and tools for addressing homelessness.
 
Submissions, non-commercial in nature, from any individual, group, business or organization, on any topic are welcome. The Program Planning Advisory Committee will consider the educational value of each proposal and the extent to which it presents new and/or significant information.
 
Sessions may not include sales, commercialism or product promotion of any kind. Ideas need to be fully completed and submitted through the online proposal form by Friday, June 8 to be considered by the committee.
 
There is a limit to the amount of words allowed within the title and description of each proposal. We recommend you write your proposal in a word-processing program first, and paste the final version into the online form.
