Conferences and Events Overview

Two annual conferences offer continuing education for elected and appointed county officials. Designated sessions qualify for credit with the Academy for Excellence.

The Winter Conference is held in January and every four years offers a half-day training for newly elected officials. The Summer Conference & Trade Show is held mid-August in Ocean City. Both events focus on education, but also offer briefings by state departments and agencies and networking opportunities. The Governor addresses both conferences.

The Administrators & Attorneys Fall Conference provides a forum for discussion of legal and management issues for county administrators and attorneys.
