On behalf of the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO), I personally want to invite you to get ready to register for the 2024 Annual CSMFO Conference. With only a few days before registration opens in early October, the 2024 Host Committee is busy finalizing details to ensure your conference experience is magical and memorable.

Over the years, CSMFO conferences have regularly set attendance records and we expect this year’s conference at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim from January 30 – February 2, 2024, with the theme of “May the Magic of Finance Be With You” will be no exception, with attendance projected to be over 1,600 fellow CSMFO members.

Each year the conference provides new elements and surprising experiences. Don’t miss out, be on the lookout for 2024 CSMFO conference information which will be provided on social media platforms, CSMFO News, and through membership emails.

Here is a sneak peek of opportunities and events for the 2024 conference:

  • Exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities
  • Full registration scholarships for first-time and student attendees
  • Diverse and robust training sessions with expanded pre-conference sessions
  • Golf and pickleball tournaments
  • A Wednesday night event at Star Wars Launch Bay (in Disneyland)
  • An exclusive California Adventures group power walk

Conference details will be shared on the CSMFO website.

CSMFO conferences provide exceptional educational sessions and keynote speakers, networking opportunities, and a one-of-a-kind experience for attendees. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual component of the conference will take place in March 2024.

I look forward to meeting you at the 2024 CSMFO conference, May the Magic of Finance be With You!
