Here’s a sneak peek at this year’s Annual Conference and Expo education lineup; start planning your schedule today!
Join the League of California Cities and local officials from across the state in Sacramento, from September 22-24, for three days of learning, collaboration, and celebration.
The League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo will bring together more than 1,500 local leaders for education and perspective-sharing on challenging, city-specific issues and provide opportunities for officials to deepen relationships with others in similar fields. One of the conference’s key highlights is its breakout sessions.
Breakout sessions cover a wide variety of topics, including pension updates, equity and justice, how to support residents experiencing homelessness, and the role local leaders play in planning California's future. The conference also includes sessions by Cal Cities diversity caucuses: the African American Caucus, the Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Caucus, the Latino Caucus, and the Women's Caucus.
Sessions deliver insight about some of the state’s most innovative, local-first strategies, provide access to practical resources, and allow local officials to connect with statewide leaders, such as CalPERS’ Chief Executive Officer Marcie Frost. For example, attendees can learn how cities in Marin County changed their approach to wildfires, what to include in a cybersecurity incident plan, the role data can play in providing public services, and how to attract the next generation of public servants with virtual career exploration.
