Ehlers is honored to invite you to our annual Public Finance Seminar. This year, we are offering two-track optional workshops covering the foundations of both public financing and municipal finance. This programming is ideal for new staff members or a refresher for all. Beginning Thursday afternoon, two learning tracks will bring public finance, TIF and development concepts to life with actual stories and case studies from communities across Minnesota. Plus, we're excited to host a general "ask the experts" session where our senior-most advisors will answer your most pressing questions! And finally, Daniel Lightfoot and his colleagues from the League of Minnesota Cities will join us to share the latest news from the Minnesota State Legislature. We hope you can attend!

We hope you'll join us for the 2025 Wisconsin Public Finance Seminar! Similar to last year, we are offering three pre-conference workshops that cover the basics of debt issuance, tax incremental financing, and public funds investing – perfect for those new to municipal finance and anyone who’d like a refresher course. For the full seminar, we focused our curriculum on two learning tracks – Development & Tax Incremental Financing and Municipal Finance – and placed a significant emphasis on real-life application of the principles. We also developed two joint sessions focusing on levy limit referendum case studies and affordable housing projects. And finally, Jerry Deschane and Toni Herkert from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities will join us to offer insights on the State budget forecast and the latest news from the Capitol. All sessions will leave ample time for open question and answer periods.
