2026 MTA Annual Conference & Expo (In-Person) - Online registration opens Jan. 5

When: Apr 20, 2026 from 09:00 to 11:00 (ET)

Join MTA this April as we embark on the ‘Pathway to the Future’

Michigan’s 1,240 townships are forging ahead with purpose—strengthening communities through collaboration, innovation and action. By working together, communities are better equipped to address challenges, seize opportunities and drive lasting progress. Through a shared commitment to growth and improvement, we can build a strong, connected future. Gather with fellow township officials on this pathway to education, networking and connection at MTA’s 2026 Conference & Expo.

Nowhere else will you find an event of this magnitude and value for all who serve Michigan’s townships. We welcome you to join us for three extraordinary days that include a lineup of more than 50 educational sessions on topics selected to inspire you and improve your public service and your community, plus Michigan’s largest municipal expo with more than 100 vendors and invaluable time to network and with your peers.

Registration opens Jan. 5. You’ll find all the details—from classes to networking events and hotel options to registration forms—in the January issue of your Township Focus magazine. The full Conference registration brochure will also be available for download at https://michigantownships.org/conference in late December!

Conference housing opens Jan. 27. Remember, you must first register for the Conference to receive your personalized housing code (which will be provided in your confirmation).
