This is a great way to end the  Annual Conference event in beautiful Victoria, the City of Gardens.

Emergency Grab-and-Go Bags: A NEW incentive on our Trade Show Floor!


Local governments are often “on the ground” when local emergencies happen. This year at the trade show, we are inviting exhibitors to provide one item for conference attendees' emergency grab-and-go bags. Visit each exhibitor and collect safety items in order to complete your bag. A grab-and-go-bag is essential to have during emergencies. Thank you to our supporting exhibitors who have partnered with the LGMA on this new incentive.
