It’s Time to Register for MACo’s Summer Conference…

MACo’s 2024 Summer Conference, “Turning the Tide,” will be held on August 14-17 in Ocean City, MD. REGISTER TODAY!

With the 2024 Session having just ended and MACo’s legislative wrap-ups posted, it’s officially time to start planning to attend MACo’s Summer Conference!

MACo’s Summer Conference brings together approximately 3,000 leaders from all levels of government and the private sector. With four days of educational sessions, along with 2 exhibit shows (over 350 vendors!), and numerous briefings, meetings, and opportunities to connect with counties, this conference is a can’t-miss event for anyone involved in Maryland’s local government interests.

“Turning the Tide”
With the COVID-19 pandemic fully in the rearview, counties across the nation are grappling with how to fund and sustain essential services now that the influx of federal funding has ended. Maryland is no exception and has a few belt-tightening years ahead as local governments strive to provide resources for initiatives that were crafted in healthier budget years or have emerged because of the pandemic. The 2024 Summer Conference will examine ways counties can, with an eye on the future, foster and fund county priorities like planning for sustainable growth, modernizing mental health and public safety services, and advancing our education system, among others. Presenters will discuss new avenues for resources and partnerships. Bridging all levels of government and the private sector, counties are looking to turn the tide with innovative solutions for today’s challenges to ensure tomorrow’s success.

Proposals for session topics are due by April 15. If you’re interested in speaking – or just want to submit an idea for MACo to consider – submit a proposal soon.

MACo’s Summer Conference includes something for everyone – a few things to look forward to:

  • More than 30 educational sessions, focusing on all areas of county government service delivery
  • Tech Expo, featuring 60+ potential partners with solutions for all your tech needs
  • Golf Tournament with a NEW FORMAT: join us for a 9-hole format and extended networking lunch
  • Taste of MD Reception, highlighting food and beverages from across the state
  • Numerous briefings, meetings, and opportunities to connect with leaders at all levels of government and the private sector
  • Crab Feast – the perfect networking opportunity for Marylanders!
