Stormwater professionals from around Florida gathered on June 12-14, 2024, at the Sanibel Harbour Marriot Resort in Ft. Myers to explore Waves of Change: Stormwater Management Solutions. Sessions were provided by industry-leading experts and thought leaders on regulatory and management topics.
Why Attend?
FSA’s Annual Conference is different from the rest. Here are the top 5 reasons:
- Comprehensive Agenda – This is the only stormwater specific conference in Florida that is organized by Floridians, for Floridians. Presentations are submitted and selected by your peers, so the topics are always relevant! FSA offers multiple workshop tracks, so you’re sure to find the content you’re looking for and “Encore Presentations” - where popular sessions are offered in two different time slots – guarantee you won’t have to miss a thing!
- Networking Opportunities – Sharing information and learning from your peers is more important than ever, and the Annual Conference attracts the “Best of the Best” in the stormwater profession!

Florida Professional Engineers and Florida Certified Floodplain Managers can earn PDHs/CECs on an hour per hour basis. (FSA Provider #03854). Florida Certified Floodplain Manager credits are pending approval.
- Innovative Products/Services – Attending the Emerging TechnologiesTM session can teach you about the latest and greatest stormwater innovations. In addition, the Exhibit Hall features the newest stormwater products, technologies and services in one convenient location.
