The 35th annual CivicWell Policymakers Conference will be held March 11-14, 2027 in Yosemite National Park.
Since 1991, the CivicWell Policymakers Conference has gathered local elected officials from across California in an inspiring and collaborative environment.
This intimate gathering brings together over 100 mayors, city council members, and county supervisors in the majestic setting of Yosemite National Park. The event is designed to support local elected officials with tools and partnership opportunities to implement innovative solutions locally.
From climate resilience and sustainable water management to clean energy and social equity, the conference explores sustainable and practical tools to address the complex issues we face.
