New forum format at Convention 2025


Publishing Date

The Tuesday Forums will look a little different this year for mid-sized and large urban communities. Traditionally the forums have been separated by community size, offering a space for local governments to discuss common issues. 

Small Talk and the Electoral Area Director’s forums find value in this format, the nature of their size often posing unique issues to manage. Those forums will remain unchanged. 

Forums for mid-sized and large urban groups will be refocused as topical workshops. Attendees can choose their workshop based on issue, not by their community size. Stay tuned to future issues of The Compass for updates on these workshops.

Forum lunches will remain organized by community size, and must be registered for at an extra cost. All forums and workshops are included in registration
