About the Annual Conference

For 110 years, the Annual NJ League Conference has provided a gathering place for local officials and professionals to connect, network, and learn. Once again, we anticipate over 16,000 attendees and 700 exhibiting companies to attend the nation’s largest municipal conference.

In November 2025, just as the nation begins to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America, the Annual Conference celebrates our rich and diverse history as a group, a state, and a nation. Local officials can use those years of knowledge to move forward addressing community needs and solving future problems.
