Every year 3CMA, the City-County Communications and Marketing Association utilizes two different meeting formats in order to share ideas and network among the membership. 

Annual Conference 

The Annual Conference is the culmination of everything 3CMA has worked hard for all year, a chance for everyone to come together and share the best ideas and learn from each other.  The Annual Conference is held in a different location each year in order to allow as many people as possible to attend and to allow members to see local government in action in different areas. 

The highlight of the Annual Conference is the Savvy Awards evening Gala.  The best practice projects and outstanding work of the membership is shown off both at the awards ceremony itself and in the annual Savvy Awards Display of all entries submitted.  The awards the best way for 3CMAers to demonstrate what they’ve accomplished over the past year and then share it with other members.

In addition to the Savvy Awards, the Annual Conference offers many information packed educational sessions.  Some of last year’s topics include: "E-Business: Beyond a Website" "Wacky Ideas" "Spicing Up Your Graphic Designs" "Budget-Busting: Doing Everything For Nothing" "How to Put Together a Unique Event"

Mini-Conferences

3CMA Mini-Conferences provide an opportunity to work intensively with local government professionals at the local  level.  These conferences are held throughout the year in locations all over the country.  Planned by a committee from the local area, a Mini-Conference is tailored to the needs and concerns of most interest to that area.  A Mini-Conference offers an opportunity for more attendance from a jurisdiction since major travel is not required.  A Mini-Conference is an important opportunity for a very personal 3CMA experience.
