PLMA
Conferences
Each year, PLMA hosts a Spring Conference and a Fall Conference. Attendance runs ~400 to 450 people per event and is open to PLMA members and stakeholders alike. These conferences are hosted in cities around the United States, providing regional perspectives from all areas of the country.
Each PLMA conference agenda is developed through an open “call for presentations.” A team of PLMA member volunteers is invited to judge all of the presentation proposals received, rating them against an objective scoring rubric. Utility participation, lessons learned, and results achieved are an important dimension of each of the top-ranked ~25 sessions that are selected for presentation at each conference.
