2027 National Conference of Regions

The National Conference of Regions is NARC's annual forum where regional leaders and industry partners convene to discuss key policy issues and establish a legislative agenda for the year ahead. It focuses on topics central to NARC members and their local elected officials, specifically addressing solutions related to transportation, economic and community development, environment and energy, and public safety and emergency management issues. The conference, hosted in Washington, DC, attracts a national audience comprising councils of government, metropolitan planning organizations, and other regional organizations, alongside their local elected leaders, professional staff, elected city, county, and state officials, diverse professionals, academics, and private sector representatives. It is designed to facilitate networking, collaboration, and advocacy on Capitol Hill and with federal agencies, equipping regional leaders to shape policy effectively for their communities.
