Back together again! We are excited to announce our plan to return to in-person events with the CGMC’s 2021 Summer Conference. The location for this year’s event has been moved to Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center in Alexandria, which is situated on beautiful Lake Darling. 

We are still in the process of finalizing the agenda, but the conference will begin at noon on Thursday, July 29 and end at approximately noon on Friday, July 30. Attendees can look forward to:

  • Informative speakers, presentations and panel discussions featuring state leaders, key legislators and policy experts
  • Interactive sessions where city leaders can discuss recent challenges and successes in their communities — and learn about what’s happening in other cities across Greater Minnesota
  • Discovering how lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic could help make your city even stronger
  • Finding out how bills and budget plans passed in the 2021 legislative could impact your community
  • Learning about plans for possible changes to the Local Government Aid formula
  • The return of our annual awards dinner celebrating legislators and city leaders who had a strong positive impact on Greater Minnesota during the past year
  • Opportunities to meet with old friends and make new ones!
