The APPA National Conference is the American Public Power Association's flagship annual event. APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide, representing public power before the federal government on behalf of the more than 49 million people that public power utilities serve and the 93,000 people they employ. The conference rotates among host cities each year; the 2026 edition was held in Boston, Massachusetts, and the 2027 edition moves to Orlando, Florida.
