Congressman Ruppersberger:
MACo Conference is a One-Stop Shop for the Latest News and Ideas

"From government financing to tourism, MACo's Summer Conference is a one-stop-shop for the latest news and ideas for policy-leaders at the county level. It provides a rare opportunity to network and brainstorm with local government managers as well as meet hundreds of the best vendors - with a crab feast to boot."
-- The Honorable Dutch Ruppersberger,
US Representative, Maryland District 2

MACo's 2014 Summer Conference will focus on new programs, creative methods of funding, and exciting best practice trends for local government service delivery. Don't miss our educational sessions or our 250-booth tradeshow! Some hotel blocks are close to selling out - reserve your hotel room in Ocean City at a discounted MACo rate today.
