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 54 million customers that public power utilities serve, and the 96,000 people they employ. APPA 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.
What is the National Conference?
This is public power’s largest meeting and THE place for industry suppliers to gain exposure with public power CEOs, senior executives, and policymakers.
Why should my company sponsor and exhibit at this event?
