Welcome! The 99th annual conference of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) will be held from September 22-25, 2013 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Boston/New England is the host city and region for the gathering of more than 3,000 professional administrators, academic leaders, and students from around the globe. MMMA, in collaboration with our colleagues from the other five New England state associations, are the hosts of this event.
Our City, Our Region
When you put together your "bucket list" of cities you want to visit, surely Boston is in your top ten. We are home to world-class educational institutions, incredible cultural amenities, and first-class restaurants. New England is the cradle of American democracy and the birthplace of many of the most significant American ideas. Our region features rocky coastlines and sandy beaches, quaint villages and historic seacoast towns, and green mountains and rolling hills. We have hiking trails, bicycling paths, beautiful golf courses, and harbors for sailing.
The World's Foremost Professional Development Opportunity for Local Government Managers
