On behalf of the MPA faculty, staff, and alumni, you are strongly encouraged to attend as much of the seminar as your schedule permits. It will be at the discretion of faculty to cancel any classes on the days of the conference. If your class is not canceled, it will be your responsibility to communicate with your instructor regarding expectations of missing class and/or assignments.

Registration Information:

• All UNC MPA students can use this link to RSVP for the 2023 North Carolina City and County Management Seminar, scheduled for February 1-3, 2023 at MC Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem.
  • The MPA Program will cover the cost of your conference registration and the alumni breakfast, so it is very important that you attend should you register for the event.
  • Should you choose to stay in a hotel, that will need to be at your own expense.
• There is a tentative Happy Hour for students, alumni, faculty, and staff being planned for Thursday, February 2^nd, more details will be forthcoming.

Speed Networking Event:

You’ll also notice on the draft agenda the opportunity for speed coaching on Thursday afternoon. On the RSVP form you will have the opportunity to indicate your intent in participating in the speed coaching. Please only indicate if you are certain you will participate, as the seminar planning committee will need to make sure there are enough coaches (managers). Students have said year after year that this speed-coaching event has been one of the most helpful aspects of the seminar!

The deadline to register for the seminar is 5 pm, Wednesday, January 18, 2023.  If you do not complete the RSVP before that time, you will be required to register yourself and pay the full amount.

We look forward to your participation!
