Conference Highlights
Speakers, Speakers, Speakers
Plan to have a good time, and count on leaving informed. The conference will start off with FEPA committee meetings, where we will share information and chart new goals. You’ll want to get up early the next day for our golf tournament on The Players signature Stadium Course.
During the business sessions we’ll be covering hot topics such as fuel prices, pipeline safety, supply and demand, storage, expansions, regulation, and much more. Among the many pipeline industry professionals confirmed to speak are FERC Commissioner Mark Spitzer; INGAA President Don Santa, and AOPL President & CEO Shirley J. Neff.
Supplier Showcase
The FEPA membership roster now includes more than 40 supplier members! To help welcome our newest members to the FEPA family and get to know them better, for the first time the conference will include a Vendor Showcase during the Thursday night reception. We thank Charles Devlin of the Avanti Company and Eric Brown of SWS First Response for volunteering to assist with this special event, and welcome your suggestions and input on how we can make it a most enjoyable evening.
