Whether you’re a rookie to public affairs or a leader in the field, we know there are always new strategies to learn, people to meet, and tools to discover. One of the best places to do this is a public affairs conference— blending formal sessions and panels with opportunities to engage colleagues.
At Quorum, our team attends conferences every year to stay up to date on the latest trends in public affairs and learn from the experts themselves how we can help make their work easier with cutting edge technology.
Here are conferences every public affairs professional should attend:
Public Affairs Council Counferences:
The
Public Affairs Council is the leading association for public affairs professionals. The Council hosts a series of annual conferences across the country each year, with networking and skill-building sessions hosted in Washington on a more regular basis. Their conferences are a valuable opportunity to stay updated on trends in the public affairs field. You'll find Quorum at each of these events — find us at the Resource Marketplace and keep an eye out for invitations to special events alongside conference programming.
At The Advocacy Conference, you’ll hear from grassroots professionals on new strategies for engaging advocates, building a narrative around your advocacy campaigns, and managing the execution of campaigns from the ground up.
At The PAC Conference, you can explore emerging trends in managing solicitation campaigns, learn creative fundraising strategies, and discover best practices for ensuring compliance. Whether you are running a PAC or a lobbyist looking to find ways to collaborate with your organization’s PAC, you’ll find something at the Public Affairs Council PAC Conference.
The Digital Media and Advocacy Summit blends the work of communications and advocacy professionals to share both strategic planning and tactical strategies to help increase your impact. Interested in whether your advocacy team needs to be on TikTok? How to take your advocacy hybrid as remote opportunities have stuck around? Finding the right tools and consultants for your digital campaigns? This conference is the place to be.
With a Republican Congress and a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, more and more issues have been delegated to the states in recent years, and that trend is expected to continue in 2025. Make sure you're at the State and Local Government Relations Conference to learn from peers on how they are handling the uptick.
State Government Affairs Council Conferences:
Major corporations and leading trade associations attend the SGAC Conference to network with other public affairs professionals and learn new strategies to improve their
state government affairs work.
National Summit (April 7-9, 2025, New Orleans, LA)
Do you spend half of the year flying from state to state looking to make an impact on the issues your organization cares about? Looking for a room of peers to share best practices on everything from providing testimony to finding good contract lobbyists? Learn from the experts at the State Government Affairs Council's National Summit annual conference.
SGAC also hosts its Leaders’ Policy Conference, where you’ll find the states' legislative leadership and state government affairs professionals. While the National Summit focuses more so on professional development, like strategies for managing a team, the Leaders' Policy Conference is more policy-based.
Other Government Affairs Conferences:
The NACo Annual Conference is the premier gathering of leaders from the nation’s 3,069 counties, parishes and boroughs. Conference content includes discussion of federal policies impacting counties, workshops lifting up county best practices, engaging general sessions, mobile tours across our host county, and more.
Do you get overwhelmed in giant conference rooms with hundreds of people, especially after COVID? Then Buzz Advocacy may be a great fit. This conference is under 100 people and is meant to give significantly more opportunity to network and engage than other conferences. Expect interactive sessions, unique speakers, and a retreat-style getaway.
While sessions are more geared toward policy issues rather than professional development in the public affairs profession, this is the best conference to meet and engage with state legislators from across the country, all in one venue. State government affairs teams set up booths to discuss their issues for the thousands of legislators present.
The Leadership and Advocacy Conference—formerly the Professional Women in Advocacy Conference—offers an opportunity for women to gather and gain professional development skills and network with other women in the field of public affairs. The conference spans several fields within public affairs—federal, state, and local government affairs, advocacy, and community relations, just to name a few.
City Summit: November 19-22 2025, Salt Lake City, UT
The National League of Cities City Summit is one of the most comprehensive conferences for local elected officials and municipal staff. It gathers 4,000+ city leaders, staff, and vendors to connect, share ideas & resources, and discuss emerging trends to help local communities thrive.
Attending any of these events? Be on the Lookout for Quorum
If you’re heading to one of these conferences, be on the lookout for the Quorum team! You'll not only find us at a booth, but also as active participants. With many of our team members coming from the public affairs industry, we're committed to staying abreast of new trends just like you. Plus, we're known to throw a great party. If you register for one of these events, look out for invitations from us.
