Annual Meeting 2025

Annual Meeting 2025

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Overview

The ULC Annual Meeting will take place in Santa Fe, NM July 18, 2025 to July 24, 2025.

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. Santa Fe will be warm during the day in July, but can be cool at night. You may want to pack a light jacket for evenings.

Altitude
Santa Fe is at an elevation of 6,998'. Please stay hydrated and note that it may take a day or two for some attendees to acclimate to the altitude.
