About this event
The conference covers the broad work of running a city, from governance and budgets to the services residents depend on. Sessions are general, so attendees should review the agenda for items on public works, facilities or technology.
The 2027 dates and venue come from a third-party event listing, not from the League itself. Confirm them with the League before making plans. Earlier editions were held in Duluth in 2025 and in Rochester in 2026.
Who should go
- City administrators and managers responsible for daily operations
- Public works and parks directors reviewing service planning
- Facilities staff who report to city councils on building needs
- City clerks and council members interested in municipal operations
Why it matters for robots
Robots are unlikely to be a main topic at a conference this broad. Still, city leaders weighing changes to public works, parks or building maintenance may gain useful peer input on how other cities handle staffing, contracts and equipment planning.
Use sessions to compare how other cities made operational decisions before weighing any automation option. Any proposal should be tested against local staffing, budget cycles and the actual condition of city facilities.
