A Message from Keynote Speaker, Jim Mathis
GETTING USED TO DIFFERENT
NHMA’s 81st Annual Conference and Exhibition
November 16-17, 2022
Registration is now open for NHMA's 81st Annual Conference and Exhibition. Please join on Wednesday, November 16 and Thursday, November 17 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Manchester. Our theme this year is “Getting Used to Different.”
It’s been nearly two years and New Hampshire municipalities are still “getting used to different” and adapting to the extraordinary events of the pandemic. Elected and appointed officials have been faced with tough challenges and opportunities to create new programs and services that best meet the changing needs of their residents.
This year’s conference will be held as a live, in person event in Manchester both days with simultaneous live-streaming for virtual attendees. Either way, whether live and in-person or virtually, we hope you will join us this year.
