Thank you to everyone who attended APCO’s Annual Conference & Expo and for making it one of the best conferences yet! More than 5,000 attendees and exhibitors gathered in Baltimore last week to earn CEUs, visit the exhibit hall, network with their peers and participate in special events! They were not disappointed as APCO 2025 offered more than 132 professional development sessions to choose from and over 228 exhibitors to meet with. Not to mention the incredible keynote speakers, special appearances from Governor Wes Moore, Senator Cheryl Kagan and Mayor Brandon Scott, and special events such as the APCO Block Party and the Connect & Celebrate Dinner. Be sure to head over to Flickr, Facebook and Instagram to check out photos from the conference! We hope to see you again next year in San Antonio for APCO 2026!
