Workshops

A central feature of Connect 351 is the wide selection of workshops covering the latest developments and pressing issues affecting local governments in Massachusetts.

Fourteen workshops will be held during two time slots on Friday afternoon, and three larger and highly interactive sessions will be held on Saturday.

The workshops roster is still in development for the 2026 conference, and full titles, descriptions and panelists will be posted here in mid-November.

In the meantime, the following is a list of some of the topics to be covered:
• Fiscal outlook
• Municipal law
• Economic development
• Clean energy
• Labor law
• Recruitment and retention
• Community event planning
• Cybersecurity
• Strategic leadership
