Philadelphia Post Resilience Symposium

The SAME Philadelphia Post will host its 14th annual Resilience Symposium on Thursday, November 13, 2025. We hope you can join us.

Objective: Convene agency and industry leaders experienced and interested in the myriad challenges that people and projects face to achieve resiliency as well as the solutions that are succeeding.

We are working on a professional networking event and a technical presentation program that will foster thoughtful and rigorous discussion about an array of resilience topics including coastal resilience, energy security, and resilient leadership. These essential conversations are valuable professional development opportunities and they will help communities throughout the greater Philadelphia area address the historic challenges of today and adapt to thrive in the complex operating environment of tomorrow.
