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:

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.

The Advocacy Conference (February 6-9, 2023, Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

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.

The PAC Conference (February 26 - March 1, 2023, West Palm Beach, FL)

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 (June 12, 2023, Washington, DC)

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 COVID wanes but remote work sticks around for many? Finding the right tools and consultants for your digital campaigns? This conference is the place to be.

The State and Local Government Relations Conference (September 20-22, 2023, Washington, DC)

With a split 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 2023. Make sure you're at the State and Local Government Relations Conference to learn from peers on how they are handling the uptick.

STRIDE: A Social Impact Summit (November 15, 2023, TBD)

STRIDE is the newest addition to the Public Affairs Council's conference calendar, discussing social responsibility, sustainability, and diversity, equity, and inclusion — three areas of increased focus for public affairs teams. With these areas being relatively new for public affairs teams to tackle with the scope they are now, STRIDE is a great opportunity to network and share ideas and challenges with peers.

State Government Affairs Council

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 24-26, 2023, San Diego, CA)

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. In 2023, the SGAC National Summit will be held April 24 - 26 in San Diego, CA.

Leaders Policy Conference (November 18-21, 2023, Amelia Island, FL)

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. The Leaders Policy Conference will be held November 18 - 21 in Amelia Island, FL.

United States Conference of Mayors: June 2-5, 2023, Columbus, OH

If you’re looking for a chance to meet the mayors who impact the issues your organization cares about, look no further than the US Conference of Mayors annual meeting. The USCM Annual Meeting offers a chance to interact with over 1,400 mayors from all over the country and better understand the trends impacting city governments. Head to Columbus, OH for the 90th Meeting of the US Conference of Mayors in June 2023.

National Conference of State Legislators: August 14-16, 2023, Indianapolis, IN

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.

Professional Women in Advocacy: TBD, Washington, DC

PWIA 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.

Buzz Advocacy Summit (TBD, Annapolis, MD)

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.
