The premier thinking conference for local government.

Can you imagine what the future holds for local government?  While it's hard to gain full insight into what the future holds, what we do know is that local communities are changing. This change is happening as a result of demographic swings, economics, and shifts in the political landscape.  Success into the future for a local government organization will be defined by an ability to adapt, learn and foster creative ideas to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

The 2012 TLG Conference will be presented by the Alliance for Innovation and co-hosted by the University of Kansas School of Public Administration, KACM, MCMA, and Kansas City Metro Area Governments. By combining TLG and the Annual Conferences for KACM and MCMA, this joint conference will allow participants to gaze through the looking glass to see and hear those stories of innovation.  Through innovative case study sessions, conference attendees will take an in-depth look at the ingenuity and creativity of successful government programs. During provocative keynote sessions, you’ll be inspired to tap into new energy and a sense of reinforced commitment to your work.

TLG attracts participation from local governments that are deliberately seeking new and innovative ways to connect people, information and ideas that support their efforts to be the best communities in which to live, work, and prosper. The TLG conference is recognized for its dynamic content that encourages freethinking and fosters unprecedented ideas.  The conference experience is designed to promote team building and a sense of camaraderie.

Join us in Kansas City, MO April 18-20, 2012 to dive deep into the innovative practices that are emerging from the local government industry.
