The NYGFOA Annual Conference (AC) is a multi-day event to learn, network, share ideas, celebrate member accomplishments and grow together as a community. The Annual Conference is a highly anticipated event within the NYS local government finance community with over 600 of government finance professionals and private sector representatives throughout New York State coming together in the Capitol city.  

When is the NYGFOA Annual Conference?

The AC 2019 week begins on Tuesday, March 26 with Pre-Conference sessions. The Pre-Conference is a combination of Government Finance Institute (GFI) offerings, as well as seminars on specific skill-based training. These sessions are not included in the AC registration fee and require separate registration. The Pre-Conference is a great opportunity to get some intensive training before all the conference action begins.

Following the Pre-Conference, the Annual Conference officially kicks off the evening of Wednesday, March 27th and continues through Friday, March 29th.

Where is it being held?

This year's Annual Conference will be held at the Albany Marriott Hotel in Albany, NY just a short drive from downtown Albany, home to many historic landmarks such as the NYS Capitol Building, The Empire Plaza, The Egg, Corning Tower, U.S.S. Slater, and much more! Complimentary transportation downtown will be provided by the Marriott.
