General sessions will focus on some of the most significant issues facing Arkansas communities, including housing challenges, economic development opportunities, municipal waste management, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and government transparency.
Attendees will also have 11 opportunities to earn certification credits through the Arkansas Civic Education Program. Additional training will be offered for city treasurers and municipal finance officers to help meet education requirements established under Act 671 of 2025.
Author, coach, and speaker Jason Curry will deliver a keynote presentation on resilience, leadership, and success during the convention.
More than 120 vendors and sponsors are expected to participate in the Convention Exhibition Hall, showcasing products, services, and technologies designed to assist municipalities across Arkansas.
The event will conclude with the adoption of the League’s Policies and Goals statement for the coming year, the announcement of the 2026-2027 officers, and an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding service to Arkansas municipalities.
