As the leading voice for cities in our nation’s capital, the Conference brings together mayors from across the country to engage with the White House, Administration, and Congress to ensure that federal policy addresses the priorities of cities. Mayors have an opportunity to participate in this important work by attending our Winter and Annual Meetings, joining our Hill visits, and serving on our Standing Committees where the Conference’s policy priorities are shaped.

Serving as mayor is like no other job in the world. Through the Conference you can you connect, network, and share with other mayors. You can also partner with the nation’s leading businesses through our Mayors Business Council to create opportunities for your city. The Conference’s vast array of virtual meetings, webinars and in-person events offer formal and informal opportunities for you to grow your network — providing support, insight, and camaraderie for years to come.

As a member, you have access to the Conference’s communications resources to help tell your city’s story. The Conference regularly inserts mayors into the national conversation both through earned media campaigns and comprehensive digital initiatives. Additionally, the Conference offers tactical support and strategic counsel to your communications team to help promote the great things you are doing in your city and elevate your voice.

The Conference offers an unparalleled platform for mayors to share best practices on how they are tackling challenges in a variety of issue areas. These are collected and showcased in a range of reports, surveys, forums, and on our website. In addition, our awards program allocates more than $1 million dollars in grants every year. These awards not only provide critical funding for new initiatives, but they also celebrate your city’s creative and innovative solutions.
