GMA | Georgia Municipal Association 2027

At the 2023 convention, which marked GMA's 90th anniversary, more than 2,400 municipal leaders from around the state of Georgia gathered to unite, grow, learn and network. The audience is composed of city officials and municipal government leaders. GMA currently represents all 538 cities in Georgia.

For the 2026 Municipal Marketplace, booth options ranged from $1,725 to $2,500, with exhibit passes, setup time, and meals included. Tiers were:

• Standard Booth — $1,725: 10' x 10' space, three exhibit passes, one 6-foot draped table, two chairs, and one wastebasket. Up to three additional exhibit passes may be purchased.
• Front Row Booth — $1,950: same inclusions as the Standard Booth, in a front-row location.
• Equipment Space — $2,500: space for larger equipment with five exhibit passes included (up to five additional passes may be purchased); furniture is not included.

Shepard Exposition Services is the official service contractor, and exhibitors must provide proof of liability insurance (minimum $1 million per occurrence).

Booths are reserved through GMA's online registration platform, which embeds the exhibitor contract and requires proof of liability insurance. Within 24 hours of reserving a booth, exhibitors receive an email from GMA Registrations that includes a link to register booth staff and book hotel rooms. All booth staff must be registered and wear a badge to access the exhibit hall.

Note that exhibitor registration includes access to the exhibit hall only. To attend the full convention, a separate registration is required:

• Business Alliance Program Rate: $575
• General Business Rate: $1,200

Hotel reservations within the GMA block are made online via a Passkey confirmation once conference registration is complete.

Created in 1933, the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) is the only state organization that represents municipal governments in Georgia; based in Atlanta, it is a voluntary, non-profit organization that provides legislative advocacy, educational, employee benefit and technical consulting services to its members. The Annual Convention is GMA's premier yearly event. In 2023 GMA celebrated its 90th anniversary at the Savannah Convention Center, underscoring the organization's long history of serving Georgia's cities. The convention has been held in Savannah for many years and continues to grow alongside GMA's expanding membership.
