The Summer Highlight of the Florida Electric Industry
The 2024 FMEA Annual Conference will take place at The Breakers in Palm Beach from July 30 to August 1.
Join us as we bring together Florida's leading elected officials and decision-makers from public power utilities for an enriching three-day event filled with insightful speakers and valuable networking opportunities, all aimed at tackling the pressing challenges of our industry.
The conference will commence with a welcome reception on Tuesday evening and culminate with the Annual Banquet on Thursday night. This summer gathering is a must for industry professionals, serving as the premier platform for collaboration and innovation. We owe the success of this event to the unwavering support of the Florida public power community.
“Over the years I have made many lasting connections at the Annual Conference. Through FMEA we meet our counterparts at other utilities across the state and inevitably another utility has gone through something you are going though. It’s invaluable to be able to bounce ideas off of each other or pick up the phone and call someone to learn how they solved complex problems.”
