Every autumn, county officials from around the state gather at the Wisconsin Counties Association’s Annual Conference for educational opportunities and peer networking. The WCA Annual Conference, along with the WCA Exhibit Hall, serves as the largest gathering of county supervisors, county officials, and those directly and indirectly involved in county government. The event presents a unique marketing opportunity for you to meet and interact with county decision makers face-to-face.
