The APPA Engineering & Operations Technical Conference is the conference of choice for public power professionals charged with designing, developing and maintaining the nation's electric system. In addition to the knowledge they'll take home and put into practice at their utility, participants can earn a full year's worth of professional development hours by attending this one conference.
Designed for public power technical personnel and safety managers. The conference also has much to offer to utility directors, public power professionals involved in electric utility management and operations and city managers. With the advent of smart grid, IT and communications will benefit as well.
