We invite you to be part of the 2025 ICMA Local Government Reimagined (LGR) Conferences and join fellow local government leaders.

Local government leadership has always involved managing the so-called “challenge of change.” But transformations over the last half-century and especially the last several years have dramatically and forever altered the conditions in which local governments operate.

Local Government Reimagined reflects ICMA’s long-term commitment to helping public administrators innovate and adapt their leadership practices, management strategies, and operations in the name of more resilient and equitable outcomes for their work and their communities.

We hope you will join us February 26-28 in Denver, Colorado, USA or April 2-4 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

Unable to join us in 2025? Make plans now for the 2026 Local Government Reimagined conferences happening in Orlando, Florida from April 8-10, 2026 and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from June 3-5, 2026. You can request a visa invitation letter now to ensure you are able to obtain travel documents in time.
