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.

As Maryland’s local governments continue to navigate a shifting economic landscape, the challenge of funding essential services and planning for future growth has never been more critical. This conference will explore the pressing issues that shape Maryland’s counties and the innovative solutions that can guide their success in the years to come. Central topics will include sustainable road funding, addressing energy challenges, aligning the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, and using next-generation tools to enhance service delivery and support smart decision-making.
