FAQ

When will I get more information about how to participate in the virtual summit?

Registrants will receive information on how to join the virtual event a few days before the event. If you have any questions, contact Academy@PublicPower.org.

What is a virtual event?

A virtual event simulates an in-person event, but involves people interacting online, rather than in a physical environment.

APPA is committed to delivering an engaging, accessible, and inclusive platform to convene the national public power community to connect, learn, and share knowledge and solutions. We are working quickly to develop an informative and engaging virtual experience, allowing participants to easily access important topics and sessions, and to connect with other participants for face-to-face conversations using video chats. Specifics regarding the new virtual experience will be shared in the coming weeks.

What platform will the virtual summit take place on?

APPA will use Zoom for the event.

What is the policy on refunds, cancellations and attendee substitutions?

Registrants who cancel in writing on or before Wednesday, April 17, 2024, are entitled to a refund of their registration fee, minus a $50 cancellation fee. Registrants who cancel after April 17 will not receive a refund, but attendee substitutions will be allowed for the 2024 Accounting & Finance Virtual Summit only. Registrants and no-shows who do not cancel on or before April 17 are responsible for the full registration fee and are not entitled to a refund of their registration fee.

What is the APPA Code of Conduct for meeting attendees?

Attendees of American Public Power Association meetings agree to abide by the APPA Code of Conduct. If attendees engage in unacceptable behavior as outlined in the Code of Conduct, APPA may take any action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to, expulsion from the current and future meetings, with no warning or refund.
