DEAR CMTA SPONSOR:
The California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), established in 1958, has been dedicated to advancing excellence in public finance by strengthening the treasury function across California’s local governments. As our organization has grown, so too has our focus—expanding beyond core education training in treasury management and investment education to include vital areas such as debt issuance and management.
We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Annual Conference, themed “Imagine What’s Possible: Inspiring the Future of Public Finance.” This premier event will be held April 28 –May 1, 2026, at the Disneyland Resort Hotel, offering a beautiful and inspiring setting that reflects the imagination, creativity, and forward thinking that define our profession. More than 150 city, county, and special district professionals will gather for three days of dynamic educational sessions, collaborative discussions, and valuable networking opportunities. With three concurrent education tracks, attendees will gain fresh insights, practical tools, and inspiration to meet the evolving challenges of public finance.
At CMTA, we recognize that the most impactful improvements in our profession come through strong partnerships between the private and public sectors. Our sponsorship packages offer highimpact visibility not only during the conference but throughout the entire year, providing continued opportunities for recognition and meaningful connection with CMTA’s membership.
Your support and partnership are instrumental in helping us deliver exceptional education, meaningful connections, and innovative ideas that shape the future of our CMTA members. Imagine what’s possible, when inspiration meets collaboration, and together we shape the future of public finance.
We look forward to seeing you at the Disneyland Resort!
