League of California Cities Annual Conference & Expo 2026

City managers, council members and department heads from across California gather here, which makes the expo floor one of the most concentrated public-sector procurement audiences in the state.

Who exhibits

• Civil engineering and public works consultancies.
• Municipal software — permitting, records, agenda management, 311 systems.
• Public safety equipment and fleet suppliers.
• Waste, water and energy infrastructure vendors.

The sales cycle is the point

Nothing closes on this floor. Municipal purchasing runs through RFPs and council approval, so the job here is to be known and shortlisted before the RFP is written.

Getting there

The Anaheim Convention Center is the largest convention venue on the West Coast, at 800 W Katella Avenue, beside the Disneyland Resort. Roughly 45 minutes from Downtown LA without traffic, and considerably more with it. ARTIC is the nearest rail hub, with a shuttle connection.
