All summit events will be held at the Von Braun Center, Huntsville’s largest event space. Centrally located downtown near hotels, shops, and restaurants, it overlooks the manicured landscape of Big Spring International Park. Take a short drive to NASA's US Space & Rocket Center and visit "the world's most comprehensive collection of manned spaceflight hardware," or take advantage of the nearby hiking trails adorned with old aircraft cockpits and other "space-themed yard art"!
Hotel Reservations and APPA Cancellation Policy
The cutoff date to receive the APPA group rate (plus tax) is March 7, 2026. If rooms remain in the APPA block after the cutoff date, the APPA group rate will be honored. If not, you may be charged a higher rate. The room block may sell out before March 7, so early reservations are encouraged. For individual reservations, please call (800) 362-2779, and reference the group code 94Z. Alternatively, you may reserve your room online. The hotel should receive all reservations no later than March 7.
Canceled reservations that are not resold may become a financial liability for the Association, so please make your reservations thoughtfully. If you require additional assistance with housing, please contact Meeting Services at Meetings@PublicPower.org.
What is the conference dress code?
The attire for the conference is business casual. Meeting room temperatures vary, so prepare to dress for cool conditions.
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, the Association may take any action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to expulsion from the current meeting and future meetings, with no warning or refund.
How can I present at the conference?
Conference topics are generally determined 6-8 months before the event is held. We welcome your topic and speaker ideas for future conferences and events. Submit your idea for consideration at a future event. Ideas will be kept on file for a full year, so if the agenda for the conference has already been determined, your ideas will be considered for the next year’s event, or in case a space opens up in the current year’s program. You will be contacted only if your idea is selected for an upcoming conference.
How can I serve as an officer?
Utility employees play a vital role in planning the conference to bring you important topics. Incoming Vice Chairs for committees will be selected in February. Email EducationInfo@PublicPower.org if you are interested in taking a leadership position in the conference by serving as an officer for one of the following tracks:
- Environmental, Generation & Fuels
- Grid Modernization
- Reliability & Resilience
