Gas Operations Technical & Leadership Virtual Summit

When:  Aug 11, 2021 from 03:00 PM to 07:00 PM (CT)

MEA has been offering best-in-class gas operations training since 1923. This annual event is attended by natural gas crews, foreman, supervisors, managers, and directors. The summit features keynotes, exhibits, pre-conference courses, and tracks on compliance, safety, measurement and control, distribution and technology engineering and technical training.

Due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, MEA will offer the summit virtually in 2021. Through our online partner, eShow, this event will offer exclusive content available both live and on-demand right from your desk. 

*Attendee Kits are available while supplies last and no longer guaranteed with new registrations*
