Annual Meeting

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

Overview

SSDN’s Annual Meeting brings together local government professionals from across the Southeast to exchange ideas and build relationships around sustainability. This member-driven, in-person event centers on sharing lessons learned, and real-world experiences. Members engage in dynamic discussions and explore the host city’s local culture.
