The RMEL Fall Convention got its start in October of 1903. Since that first meeting, the Fall Convention has grown and evolved into its current form. The Convention provides a relaxed forum for senior management of electric energy companies to gather, network, and share information. The primary focus of the Convention is the educational presentations. Presentations can range from a CEO's vision of the industry to a focused presentation on specific technology.

The Convention lasts three days with evening receptions topping off each day. Sunday, day one, begins with a golf outing. The Convention gets rolling that evening with a RMEL Champions reception. Monday, day two, is a full-day of educational presentations. That evening brings a RMEL Champion reception as well as the RMEL Foundation Silent Auction. The final day, Tuesday, consists of the RMEL annual meeting & a half day of presentations. A guest program, award presentation, and extended breaks top off a packed convention.
