Our 26th Annual Conference will be held in fabulous Las Vegas from July 14th-16th 2010 at the New York, New York Resort.

While the theme is: "Audit your way to Recovery!", the conference will also include seminars by representatives of several of the state business licensing organizations about their organization's ability to regulate and issues of current relevance in their states, which have applicability to administration, licensing, and code enforcement officials throughout the country.

For information you may put to use when you return to work, join us July 14-16^th, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV!

We understand that many jurisdictions are faced with budget issues. To allow these jurisdictions to enjoy the benefits of the conference, we've created a scholarship program.

About The Annual Conference

The conference is designed to provide a full and in-depth treatment of both regulatory and revenue issues that affect administration, business licensing, and code enforcement officials. There will be a wide variety of subjects presented by excellent speakers and valuable written materials distributed. The formal presentations will be enhanced by enjoyable social activities to increase the interaction with colleagues.

An annual conference is held each July, usually during the third or fourth week. It starts on a Wednesday afternoon, with a reception that evening. Thursday begins with a buffet breakfast, and the ability to converse with exhibitors. Classes (with lunch included) are held the rest of the day. On Friday we have morning presentations.

Learning what one's peers are doing around the country provides new insights, strengthens good practice, and fosters professional growth and understanding. This is done by providing social interaction, as well as presentations from experts and other administration, licensing, and code enforcement officials, supplemented with conference material prepared by the presenters. Previous subjects include civil liability for licensing officials, gross receipts taxes, licensing procedures, enforcement, locating unlicensed businesses, alcoholic beverage licensing, taxi cabs, sexually oriented businesses, tax collection, solicitors and peddlers and licensing office organization and computerization. Also, at each conference, there is a court case law update of the most recent decisions from around the country that affect licensing and code enforcement officials.

A Certificate of Completion is awarded at each conference. The certificate documents the courses attended, a brief description of each course and certifies up to 14 hours of continuing education. ( Each hour is calculated based on at least 50 minutes of instruction.)
