TLG27 | Crossroads to the Future

Where Innovation, Leadership and Community Converge

April 25-28, 2027 | Kansas City, MO

The most successful organizations don't send just one person to the TLG conference, they invest in building a shared learning experience across their leadership team. At Transforming Local Government (TLG) 2027, bringing multiple participants allows your organization to maximize the return on its investment and accelerate the application of new ideas when your team returns home.

Government teams receive discounted registration rates to participate in the conference.

Why Bring a Team to TLG27?

Learn More. Implement Faster.

Each attendee experiences the conference differently. One person may focus on artificial intelligence and digital transformation, while another explores workforce innovation, strategic foresight, community engagement, organizational performance, or leadership development. Together, your team returns with a broader perspective and a richer collection of ideas than any individual could gather alone.

Instead of relying on one person to remember everything, your organization gains multiple champions who can share lessons, compare insights, and begin implementing new strategies immediately.

Build Cross-Department Collaboration

Innovation rarely happens within a single department. TLG brings together city managers, assistant managers, department directors, innovation leaders, communications professionals, HR leaders, finance teams, public works, parks and recreation, public safety, technology professionals, and many others. When teams attend together, they build stronger relationships across departments while discovering solutions that require collaboration rather than isolated action.

Strengthen Leadership at Every Level

TLG is designed for emerging leaders, experienced executives, and everyone in between. Sending a diverse team creates opportunities for mentoring, succession planning, and leadership development that continue long after the conference concludes. Organizations often find that attending together creates a common language around innovation, organizational excellence, and future-ready leadership.

Share Your Story as a Presenting Team

Presenting at TLG provides even greater value. Preparing a case study encourages teams to reflect on their work, document lessons learned, and celebrate successes. It also positions your organization as a thought leader while contributing practical knowledge that helps communities across the country. Speaking isn't about showcasing perfection, it's about sharing real-world experiences, innovative approaches, and lessons that others can adapt for their own communities.

Many presenters report that the conversations after their sessions are just as valuable as the presentations themselves, creating lasting professional relationships and opportunities for future collaboration.

Bring Ideas Home That Create Impact

The best conference experience doesn't end when attendees return to the office. Organizations that send teams are better positioned to:

- Share knowledge across the organization
- Launch new initiatives with shared ownership
- Apply proven practices more quickly
- Build momentum for organizational improvement
- Strengthen a culture of innovation and continuous learning

The value of TLG isn't measured by the number of sessions attended—it's measured by the impact those ideas have on your organization and community. When you invest in your people by bringing a team to TLG 2027, you're investing in your organization's ability to anticipate change, strengthen leadership, and create better outcomes for the communities you serve.
