Orlando Welcomes the International District Energy Association!

We're planning an exciting event with plenty of valuable programming in a great destination - Orlando. While you certainly know Orlando as America's favorite family destination, we have found even more offerings that will give you additional reasons to attend this year's event (and may entice you to stay longer). We'll be gathering in a resort environment with that famous Florida sunshine. You may want to come early, or plan to stay a few extra days to pursue the many Orlando activities time simply won't allow for during our busy schedule.

When you attend our meeting in Orlando, your free time is fun time. Once the meeting is adjourned, a world of thrilling attractions, championship golf courses, world-class spas, superb restaurants, captivating museum exhibitions and performing arts, and more than 1,200 retail shops await you. Whether you're looking for a quick getaway between business sessions or an all-day excursion for your accompanying family or friends, Orlando offers something for every schedule and every interest.
