Made in Connecticut

2024 CCM Convention will be full of learning, connecting and growing!

The hamburger, the lollipop, the can opener, the submarine, the wiffle ball – what do all of these things have in common? They were all made in Connecticut.

The 2024 CCM Convention at Mohegan Sun will honor the long legacy of Yankee ingenuity that has made our towns and cities what they are today. Join us on December 3 and 4 to be part of that long tradition!

New Schedule

Thinking about staying over the night before the busy day? If so, feel free to join us at our exhibitor appreciation reception on December 2nd from 5:30-6:30pm. All member registered for convention are welcome to attend and update their registration if they have not done so already.

This year’s convention will have a few changes, our CCMO graduation and Sustainable CT highlights will take place during breakfast in the expo hall. Our awards luncheon will cover the Municipal Excellence & Champion Awards as well as our LoCool Awards. After the day is through, you have a plethora of restaurants to choose from as dinner will be on your own on Day 1 – December 3,2024.

Workshops remain one of the highlights of our convention, and this year we are covering interesting and new hot topics. From AI to Safer Streets we have your municipality covered. Learn, connect and grow any of our 15 available workshops.

Think the convention is over? Not yet, join us for a half day on Day 2 (December 4th) for this year’s Hot Topic presentation/panel on the Post 2024 Presidential Election and learn what that means for CT’s economy

from a federal, state and local level. There will be an hour of connecting over a delicious full breakfast with your colleagues and exhibitors. As well as 3 additional CCMO credits to boost your credit accumulation!
