Steps to Success at the Annual Conference

The League's room blocks provide the best rates and shuttle bus service to the AC Convention Center. Book early for your preferred hotel—room blocks will sell out!
Consider Your Course Options. The preliminary list of the Annual Conference Session Schedule is now available for review. The session rundown will expand over the coming weeks as details are finalized, listing times, places, session descriptions, speakers, and CEU credits as they are approved.
Plan your visit to the Exhibit Hall. This year the Exhibit Hall will be 4 aisles larger in 2025 to create an even more informative and inspiring experience for attendees. Plan now to maximize your networking opportunities by reviewing the Exhibit Hall interactive map.

The League Accepting Applications for Innovation in Governance Program
The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the New Jersey League of Municipalities (NJLM) will again acknowledge and promote Innovation in Governance through our annual recognition program. This is a great opportunity to showcase innovative solutions to any problems that have cropped up, either suddenly or over time, in your municipality. It can also be an opportunity to let your peers in on innovations that prevent problems from arising. This year, the Innovation in Governance Awards Committee is looking for new and distinctive approaches in any department of municipal government.
The deadline is Friday, October 3, 2025.
Visit our awards page to see previous years’ ideas created by our winning municipalities as well as the full invitation and application to this year’s program. For more information on the contest, contact Ciara Bradley, League Research Associate, CBradley@njlm.org, 609-695-3481, ext. 128.
