In less than two months, October 20-22, hundreds of county officials will gather at the Bismarck Event Center for the NDACo Annual Conference. Sign up before September 27 for "early bird" pricing!

The agenda and workshop titles are still being developed and will be updated on the conference website regularly. A link to the conference information will always be prominent at www.ndaco.org.

Here's a sneak preview of the workshop topics:

• Grants for Roads

Our featured keynote speaker is Christopher Carter, an expert presenter known for delivering hard-hitting content with energy and humor. Christopher will also amaze and entertain us Monday evening after dinner. With any luck, we'll also squeeze in a few rounds of trivia.

ATTENTION FIRST-TIME ATTENDEES: We will offer a webinar before the conference to give you the low-down on what to expect. Experienced attendees will be welcome to take it in, too. Watch for details in your email inbox.

Reminder of major change: ALL activities will be held at the Bismarck Event Center, including the Welcoming Social on Sunday evening. Registrants will be receiving more details and reminder via email

This year's theme "Countyfest" celebrates counties in the tradition of Oktoberfest celebrating harvest. So, dust off your lederhosen, put a feather in your Alpine hat, and join your fellow county officials to exchange ideas, learn and celebrate our accomplishments.

A list of hotels honoring the state rate is posted on our website.

So don't wait! Register for the Annual Conference now! Details about everything in this article can be found at www.ndaco.org/conference.
