2027 APMM Annual Conference

Lead Boldly, Serve Authentically: Where Courage, Character and Public Service Meet
Strong communities depend on leaders who bring courage, character, and a commitment to service to their work every day.
Bold leadership is having the courage to make hard calls, speak truth to elected officials, act during uncertainty, and change course when something is not working.
Authentic service can hit topics that I know you care about: ethics, credibility, mentoring relationships, humility, and remembering that municipal management is ultimately public service.
Join your municipal management colleagues in King of Prussia for opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, and build connections. From conference sessions and the annual membership meeting to networking receptions, the golf outing, and a local tour, the APMM Annual Conference offers time to grow professionally and connect with peers.
Connect with expert speakers, fellow municipal leaders, and industry partners who share your commitment to excellence in public service.

Public Service in Action: Supporting Our Host Community
Our commitment to public service extends beyond the conference.
For the 2027 Annual Conference, APMM will contribute $15 per attendee to the Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard (UMACC) in place of a traditional conference gift. Together, we can turn a gesture of appreciation into meaningful support for neighbors experiencing food insecurity in our host community.
About Our Community Partner
The Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard provides food assistance and essential resources to individuals and families within the Upper Merion Area School District, including Upper Merion Township, Bridgeport Borough, and West Conshohocken Borough.
Through its pantry and resource center, UMACC helps neighbors access groceries, fresh produce, and personal care items. Its grocery-style shopping experience allows families to choose foods that meet their needs. Community donations help keep the pantry stocked and sustain this local resource.
Help Extend Our Impact
Attendees, colleagues, and friends of APMM are invited to make an additional, optional contribution directly to UMACC.
You do not need to attend the conference to participate. Whether you’ll be joining us in King of Prussia or supporting from afar, you can help us give back to the community hosting this year’s event. Contributions are welcome before the conference, too.
