2022 Winter Conference

Registration for the 2022 Maryland Mayors Winter Conference is now open. This annual event provides the best opportunity for Maryland’s mayors to come together for workshops, round tables, and dialogue with key State officials. If you’ve never been to the MMA Winter Conference, below is preliminary information to get you started.

The Conference is traditionally an intense day revolved around timely topics to help make you a more effective chief elected officer and a half-day legislative day designed to put you in front of your county/regional delegation. It is the only day that Maryland’s mayors physically unify as one voice in front of the Maryland general assembly. The official agenda will be published once finalized.
