HomeAAFM 2025 Fall Conference
AAFM 2025 FALL CONFERENCE - OCTOBER 8th - 10th

The 2025 AAFM Conference will be held this year at The Perdido Beach Resort. Situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico in Orange Beach, Alabama, Perdido Beach Resort is exclusively located near Alabama Point, locally known as “The Pass,” where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the deep waters of the Gulf, and boaters take a voyage for their afternoon venture. Join us in this wonderful setting for an opportunity to learn from and network with other floodplain managers from around the state and region. To accommodate those of you unable to attend in person, we will be making provisions to host the technical sessions virtually. Additional login and access information will be sent out to those who register for the virtual option.
