Opportunities Abound at Expo!

Keynote, networking, and awards spotlight the year’s biggest propane gathering

The National Propane Gas Association’s (NPGA) annual Expo returns this June with a packed agenda designed to empower retailers, distributors, fleet managers, and executives alike. The headline‑making keynote will be delivered by Dr. Mary Kelly, a leading energy‑policy analyst, who will unpack the latest market dynamics, regulatory outlook, and technology trends reshaping the propane landscape. Attendees can expect data‑driven insights on pricing volatility, emerging safety standards, and the growing role of propane in the clean‑energy transition.

Beyond the mainstage, the Expo offers a suite of networking events that cater to every segment of the industry. A prayer breakfast hosted by former Kentucky Governor Jimmy Wayne provides a relaxed setting for relationship‑building, while the Women in Propane/Young Professionals award ceremony highlights the next generation of leaders driving innovation on the front lines. The NPGA has also rolled out a dedicated Expo app that lets participants schedule one‑on‑one meetings, set reminders for breakout sessions, and access speaker decks in real time—tools that streamline the hectic trade‑show environment.

For field teams, the Expo underscores the importance of digital solutions that boost safety and efficiency. As an example, the Tankspotter.com mobile platform integrates scheduling, inspections, and documentation, allowing crews to capture compliance data on the go—an ideal complement to the Expo’s emphasis on operational excellence. Whether you’re scouting new suppliers, evaluating emerging tech, or simply reinforcing your safety culture, the Expo’s agenda offers actionable takeaways that can be deployed immediately back at the job site.
