Annual Meeting 2026

Annual Meeting 2026

Chicago, Illinois

Overview

The ULC Annual Meeting will take place in Chicago, IL July 10, 2026 to July 16, 2026.

Each year commissioners gather to review and debate draft acts. Proposed legislation is read line-by-line and discussed on the floor during the General Sessions that meet daily. While commissioners are duty-bound to attend annual meetings, it is common that spouses and families also attend. Although much work is accomplished during annual meetings, it is also a time to renew friendships and enjoy the surrounding venues.

Suggested Attire
Business casual attire is suggested. Business attire is recommended for the opening session and the final session of the meeting when memorials will be presented. Attire for events will be listed on individual event descriptions. 

Covid-19 Information:
