2026 Spring Convention | Brandon

LEGACY THAT LASTS

This April, AMM is exploring Legacy That Lasts at our annual Spring Convention. As we move toward a time of transition, AMM sets to inspire our provincial leaders to continue forward-thinking by taking action today that will make change for the future.

Throughout the event at Brandon’s Keystone Centre, delegates will be moved by world-class keynote speakers and experience opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the province. The Trade Show will feature engaging Exhibitors, businesses and organizations who can help support your work! There will also be time for professional development, networking and breakout sessions.

The AMM is READY. We are ready to serve our members, ready to engage with communities, ready to collaborate with partners, and ready to move Manitoba forward. We look forward to gathering together!

OPEN CALL-OUT FOR PRESENTATION PROPOSALS

The AMM welcomes presentation proposals for our Spring Convention, taking place on April 21-23, 2026, at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, MB.

A breakout session totals 60 minutes, and it is recommended that 15-20 minutes of the hour be dedicated to Q&A. It is expected that the presentation’s content be relevant to the role and work of municipal elected officials/senior administrators and the operation of municipalities.

A submission should include your organization’s name, a full description of the proposal, name/bio of presenter(s), and the main take-a-ways for delegates.

Submissions will be accepted until February 13, 2026. Please email your submission to events@amm.mb.ca.

Please be advised that there are a limited number of session spots available.

Only those presentations that are selected will be notified by AMM.
