Maximize Your An nual Conference
10 Ways to Prep by Katie Pebler
Preparing now for your three-day visit to the League of California Cities 2019 Annual Conference & Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center, Oct. 16–18, can help you create a valuable and memorable experience. League staff have compiled 10 tips to help ensure that you get the most out of your time at the conference. 1. Register for Pre-Conference Activities. Several conference-related activities occur before the Opening General Session on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Arrive early to attend the policy committee meetings
or take the AB 1234 Ethics Training, which start at 9:00 a.m. City clerks can earn an extra CMC/MMC Advanced Education Point by attending the City Clerks’ Workshop that morning as well. And if this is your first time attending the
conference, join us at a special orientation from 12:45–1:15 p.m.
2. Download the Mobile App. Have quick access to the conference schedule by downloading the League’s app, and build your own itinerary! This handy tool is free and available on all mobile devices by searching for “CaCities” or “League of California Cities” in your device’s app store. In addition to viewing the conference lineup, you can view session descriptions, speaker information and materials and save your thoughts on the session — right in the app. You can also make use of the maps designed to help you find exhibitors with solutions to the unique challenges confronting your city.
