Get ready to Get in the Game at this year's KLC Conference & Expo! We're pushing boundaries and setting new expectations to ensure you leave inspired, informed, and ready to make a difference.

What to Expect:

  • 🏀 KLC Insurance Tournament of Cities: Are you ready to dominate the game? The Pop-A-Shot® tournament will span the entire conference, with an initial bracket of 64, before the last four face off on Friday morning for the championship, the city trophy, and the ultimate KLC fan pack. Due to the multi-day nature of the tournament, participation is limited to those registered for the entire conference. See complete rules here.
  • 🚀 Leadership Insights: Hear from EKU Men's Basketball Coach A.W. Hamilton on driving success and leading with purpose.
  • 📊 In-Depth Housing Gap Review: Dive into the numbers and discuss local insights from the new five-year Kentucky Housing Gap Study with Kentucky Housing Corporation and Bowen National Research.
  • 🏆 Enhanced Awards Program: Join us Friday morning for a newly revamped awards ceremony celebrating outstanding achievements.
  •  New Kentucky Utilities Track: Engage with cutting-edge sessions to spark innovation and growth.

Our commitment to innovation means the conference experience constantly evolves to keep you engaged and ahead of the curve. This year's theme, Get in the Game, encourages all KLC members to participate and actively drive Kentucky's economic engine - cities!
