Annually, the conference hosts 2,000 attendees including mayors, council members, city attorneys, city managers, city clerks, municipal assistants, public works officers, planners and planning commissioners, fiscal officers and staff related to many critical city departments (fire, police, parks and recreation, community services and personnel).  There is also an exhibition that showcases over 250 vendors.
The 2010 conference theme is “Rebuilding California From The Ground Up” and will be held at the San Diego Convention Center, September 15 - 17, 2010.  Submissions from any individual, group, business or organization on any topic are welcome.  The Annual Conference Program Planning Advisory Committee will consider the educational value of each proposal and the extent to which it presents new and/or significant information.
