The article in question aims to present the possibilities and limits of municipal social assistance conferences, through a specific study on the XI Social Assistance Conference in Ponta Grossa/PR. This is qualitative research, of an exploratory nature, which methodologically was developed through bibliographical and documentary research and interviews with members of the organizing committee of the XI Conference. To promote the analysis of these interviews, the content analysis technique was used, through the organization of analytical categories. The results indicate that social assistance conferences present the possibility of participation of different social subjects in the process of discussion and evaluation of the  Municipality’s Social Assistance Policy, but that they are still permeated with limitations, with special emphasis on the existence of a gap in the user participation.
