MOBILE
WORKSHOPS
At City Summit, mobile workshops offer a unique pre-conference opportunity to experience the host city firsthand through a variety of city-led, immersive off-site learning experiences.
Mobile workshops are included with the conference registration fee for full conference delegates. It’s a part of the City Summit experience that you don’t want to miss!

Note: due to limited capacity, mobile workshops are not included in the registration for Exhibitors, Students, Youth Delegates, Youth Chaperones, and Spouse/Guests. To secure a spot, please register in advance of the conference.
Mobile Workshop FAQs
When can I register for a mobile workshop?
Mobile workshop registration typically opens during the summer months preceding City Summit. If you have already registered for City Summit before mobile workshop registration is available, you will receive an email notifying you that mobile workshops are available, along with instructions on how to modify your existing registration.
How many mobile workshops can I register for?
Attendees can register for one workshop per time slot. There are up to three time slots.
How long are mobile workshops?
Mobile workshops offer an immersive experience that lasts up to three hours. Please double-check your conference schedule to ensure you can commit the full three hours to the off-site experience.
If a mobile workshop is at capacity, what do I do?
Before the conference
Once a tour reaches capacity, a waitlist is started. Attendees are moved from the waitlist if spots on the workshop become available. If a spot becomes available, you will receive an email notification.
Onsite
Once the conference begins onsite, the waitlist will end. Visit the on-site Mobile Workshops booth at registration to find out if any extra tickets are available. If the mobile workshop is at capacity, you may show up to the bus loading area and get in line for ‘standby’ — once all attendees with tickets have boarded the shuttle bus, all attendees on standby are let on the bus on a first come, first serve basis.
What is NLC’s no-show policy?
The National League of Cities has instituted a City Summit Mobile Workshop No-Show Policy, which will result in a $50 fee if you do not attend your mobile workshop at the appointed time. This is due to high demand, limited availability, and the host city’s commitment of resources to plan and execute these workshops.
Cancellations can be made either on site at the Mobile Workshops desk near registration, by phone (747-226-7785) or by email nlccs@maritz.com.
If applicable, the fee will be charged to the card on file, or the payee will be retroactively invoiced. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
When should I arrive for my mobile workshop?
Because mobile workshops take place off-site, buses depart promptly at the start time listed on your ticket. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow time to find the correct bus and board.
Can I give my mobile workshop ticket to someone else?
Before the conference, you may transfer your mobile workshop ticket by phone (747-226-7785) or by email nlccs@maritz.com.
Onsite, please visit the Mobile Workshops booth at registration. Please bring the person who will be attending in your place.
