What is the American Public Power Association (APPA)?

APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. We represent public power before the federal government to protect the interests of the more than 49 million customers that public power utilities serve, and the 93,000 people they employ. Our association advocates and advises on electricity policy, technology, trends, training, and operations. Our members strengthen their communities by providing superior service, engaging citizens, and instilling pride in community-owned power.

Why should my company sponsor this event?

It’s public power’s conference for professionals who design, develop, and maintain a significant portion of the nation’s electric system. The conference provides education on the critical issues facing the people most responsible for keep¬ing the lights on. You’ll enjoy exclusive opportunities with people who make and influence purchasing decisions for products, platforms, and services like yours.
