Annual Expo
The CapCon Annual Expo is the premier opportunity in Michigan to connect face-to-face with potential municipal clients from every part of the state. It is the Michigan Municipal League’s only expo hall opportunity each year and offers full booth set-ups and electricity to booths.
Each spring, hundreds of local officials and state legislators gather in Lansing at one of the year’s most important networking and educational events for Michigan community service and infrastructure decision-makers.
Expo Details
The exhibit hall is centrally located on the main thoroughfare to all meeting spaces and is a favorite hangout for networking throughout the conference. Your audience will include city/village managers, mayors, council members, municipal attorneys, and other key positions in town hall.
Booths are available on a first-come, first served basis. Booth location selection is made by the vendor at time of purchase; the earlier a vendor purchases the more location options there will be. Booth size: 10’ x 10’.
Booth price: $1,500

Sponsorship Opportunities
CapCon sponsorships offer a unique opportunity with access you won’t find anywhere else to an exclusive audience of local officials, state legislators, city managers, mayors, council members, municipal attorneys, and other influential decision-makers. These two days are highly concentrated with events like our annual expo hall, networking breaks, and on-site meals that make it easy to develop new connections and strengthen old ones with our municipal partners.
Our sponsorship opportunities can be purchased individually or combined to create the sponsorship package that works best for your business needs. Core levels provide exposure and brand awareness before, during, and after CapCon while boosting your access to the audience in the moment. Consider our A La Carte options if you are seeking a more targeted sponsorship approach.
If you have any questions about sponsorship opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact our team at sponsorship@mml.org.
