2024 Annual Meeting

APRIL 30-MAY 3, 2024 | Charlotte, NC

SSDN's Annual Meeting is a face-to-face opportunity for members to share new ideas.

Overview

SSDN's Annual Meeting gathers city and county government sustainability directors and professionals from throughout the Southeast. SSDN members discuss sustainability issues through dynamic interactions and relationship building.

Our Annual Meeting is a face-to-face opportunity for members to share and learn from each other. This is a member-focused and member-driven event, and the meetings strive to provide appropriate and relevant information.

Presentations and discussions focus on how initiatives, projects, and topic areas are transferable or replicable in other southeastern communities. Members are encouraged to discuss challenges and lessons learned, and to share openly about their own experiences.

Additionally, members explore the host city's sights, sounds, and entertainment.

Each registration fee is anticipated to cover one hotel room for two (or three) nights, one dinner, two breakfasts, two lunches, one tour activity, and one reception event. Members may choose to bring other staff from within their local governments to the Annual Meeting but must register them in advance and pay a registration fee for each person, and pay for their travel costs. In 2023, we introduced a flexible Annual Meeting attendance for a third night (ahead of the meeting's official start). We are offering a flexible attendance rate in 2024 at $1000 for three nights, which includes all items offered above. More information about 2024 Annual Meeting costs and scholarship/cost relief opportunities to come later in 2023.
