​​​The Mid-Atlantic Utility Conference brings utility leaders together from across the region and beyond, to learn and network, sharing their experiences with some of today's most challenging aspects of delivering drinking water, storm water, and waste water. ​​

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.

Special thanks to our volunteer committee members who have been working diligently to bring together this awesome program.
