The Alabama League of Municipalities is excited to host our 2026 Annual Convention and Expo in Montgomery at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center on April 28-May 1, 2026. This multi-day event is our largest event of the year and is carefully planned to provide attendees with opportunities to learn, engage in critical discussions, vote on League leadership, network and of course have FUN! We have an exciting line up for our general and concurrent sessions, exhibitor hall (showcasing municipal vendors and state agencies) and MORE.
This year we will be offering our state-of-the-art Firearms Training System (FATS) available for FREE for attendees to test out on April 29 and April 30 at convention!
FATS is a computer-based video interactive system that provides real-life scenarios that call for split-second decisions. It is an excellent training tool designed to develop and sharpen a law enforcement officer's discretionary skills as well as re-enforce conflict resolution abilities. We are offering this unique opportunity to convention attendees to give municipal officials a better understanding of the difficulties first responders go through on a daily basis and why this training is needed, especially during today’s times.
FATS Coordinator Deena Pregno and other staff will explain and demonstrate the FATS program to participants. Each demo session is expected to last 10-15 minutes. Onsite registration will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in Montgomery Meeting Room 9 on the second floor of the Renaissance Hotel on Wednesday, April 29 from 3 - 5:30 p.m. and Thursday, April 30 from 8 - 10 a.m. If you would rather watch than participate, spectating is limited to 10 viewers at a time while training is taking place.
Firearms and weapons are prohibited at the convention.
