October 11 Update for Fall 2024 ICC Meeting:
I have some very encouraging news to report:
The ICC meeting hotel came through Hurricane Milton relatively unscathed. There was no flooding or rain intrusion into the hotel. The hotel exterior has been completely cleaned and the hotel pools and Lazy River will be available. All hotel staff have been told to report to work on Monday.
The hotel is still without power and remains on generators since the hurricane began. Today, hotel power came on very briefly and then was interrupted due to an offsite equipment problem which the electric utility (Florida Power & Light) is working to repair. This is still good news since the power path (poles, transformers, cable, etc.) has been restored aside from this latest equipment issue. On a side note, this hotel hosted the FP&L line crews during Hurricane Ian, and I feel confident the hotel General Manager is using that prior relationship to expedite repairs.
The Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is open. I would expect that area restaurants, shopping, etc. if they have power will be open (storm damage permitting) but I would recommend calling first.
The ICC hotel private island beach remains closed. The current status of nearby beaches can be checked here: https://www.visitfortmyers.com/beach-conditions
Once hotel power has again been fully restored, I’ll send out another update.
If you need to reach Jennifer Quandel about existing reservations, she can be contacted at JQuandel@hpnglobal.com.

ICC Chair (2024-2025)
Welcome to the IEEE Insulated Conductors Committee (ICC) web site. This web site provides information on the ICC organization, activities and responsibilities and our meetings, including meeting registration.
The ICC, one of the committees of the IEEE Power & Energy Society, is focused on developing and servicing IEEE technical guides, recommended practices and standards for the design, manufacturer, testing, operation and maintenance of insulated cables including high voltage transmission and distribution cables usually associated with utility power systems, commercial and industrial wire, and their related accessories and subsystems. We hold meetings twice a year at locations throughout North America where we develop and service the standards as well as hold informative technical sessions that include presentations by industry experts. The following video provides a high-level overview.
The links on this page provide information about the general organization and operation of the ICC. We hope you will explore these pages and look forward to having you participate in our meetings and activities. Should you have any questions about ICC, please reach out to the ICC chairperson. Thank you for visiting!
