FAQs
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.
Can I earn educational credits for attending this virtual summit?
Yes, you can earn the following kinds of educational credits for participating in sessions during the virtual summit:
