About the Capital Conference and Spring Expo

The Michigan Municipal League’s annual Capital Conference, held each spring, is a critical policy briefing for municipal officials to gain an understanding of key issues that will affect their jurisdiction in the coming year.

The Spring Expo is an important educational component of the annual Capital Conference. It is attended by local government officials and representatives from approximately 100 companies. The municipal officials come from municipalities ranging in population from very small (under 500) to the largest (nearly 1 million) in the state. Officials from almost 300 different communities will attend. The municipal titles most heavily represented are the top decision makers: councilmembers, mayors, city/village managers, clerks, attorneys, and finance directors.They are responsible for millions of dollars in purchases each year. In addition to making important contacts among these municipal officials, many exhibitors find that the other companies in the Expo are potential clients or could be valuable partners on future endeavors.

The expo is a key event where local officials can meet vendors face-to-face to learn about products, services and emerging technologies.

Officials rely on this event to preview consultants before requesting proposals for new capital projects and other big-budget programs. Approximately 100 companies providing a variety of service and products for municipalities will be exhibiting.
