75th Annual Local Government Conference

Celebrating 75 Years

At the heart of our history is an enduring belief in empowering local governments to lead Alaska’s development through strong, flexible, and community-centered governance. Our annual conference this year marking our Diamond Jubilee, is not only a gathering of municipal leaders but a celebration of progress, partnership, and purpose. 75 years on, AML stands as a champion of municipal advancement, supporting 165 cities and boroughs across the state. We invite you to join us at this historic event and help shape the future of Alaska’s local governments for the next 75 years.

We are expecting to host more than 1000 members, partners, municipal leaders, and affiliates, who will come together to learn from each other and collaborate on efforts to address our shared challenges. We welcome all perspectives and look forward to hearing from state and local government leaders, newly elected officials, municipal staff, and conference sponsors all of whom will make this conference an overwhelming success – and certainly one to remember.
