Our conference theme highlights the deliberate steps that utilities and partnering organizations are taking to improve equity, inclusiveness, and diversity at all levels.  Our program is set, with dozens of utility leaders participating  in a combination presentation / panel discussion format for each session -- you will not want to miss this year's Mid-Atlantic Utility Conference!

The conference brings together hundreds of utility leaders and their partners for two days of learning and networking, and we are thrilled to announce our program highlights.
