About FRC

The Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association and Resiliency Florida are hosting the 4th Annual Florida Resilience Conference on September 17-19,2025, at the Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, Florida. The purpose of the conference is to provide a professional forum for in-depth discussion on the state’s burgeoning resilience programs.  The conference program will feature concurrent sessions on: 


  • Beach management
  • Energy
  • Infrastructure - gray, green, cyber, transportation
  • Smart Planning


A cross-industry approach is needed to ensure the preservation of Florida’s unique natural resources and thriving communities from the effects of rising seas, weather extremes, intensified flooding, and coastal erosion. The Florida Resilience Conference is our response to this challenge.
