Event Overview
Across operations, engineering, field leadership, and system planning, one thing is clear: the pace of change isn’t slowing down.
Spring Gas brings together the professionals navigating that change every day, from control rooms and field teams to design desks and compliance offices.
In 2025, we welcomed attendees from over 39 states and companies across North America, making it one of the most diverse gatherings of natural gas professionals focused on practical learning and industry-wide connection.
The agenda is built around the problems you’re trying to solve, like streamlining storm response, reducing pipeline design rework, improving gas dispatch control, and modernizing leak detection. Each session is led by peers and grounded in real-world application.
For solution providers, Spring Gas is more than visibility—it’s engagement.
With focused exhibit hall hours, hosted receptions, and strategic connection points throughout the day, you’ll have meaningful face time with the people making decisions on the ground.
Looking for deeper conversation? Pipeline Pairings™ offers high-value visibility and one-on-one meetings with operators ready to connect.
Whether you’re solving technical challenges or equipping others to do it, this is where natural gas professionals move forward together.
