JOIN US IN LOS ANGELES

Exceptional speakers. Actionable takeaways. New knowledge for all.

2022 has looked radically different than 2021, and there’s plenty of new information for the municipal market to digest. We’re assembling the best and brightest municipal finance leaders in the Los Angeles area to cover today’s emerging topics, and we want you to hear it all.
