American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers Annual Meeting

The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Annual Meeting is an annual three-day conference for managers, executives, and rising leaders from operating companies, service providers, and suppliers in the downstream refining and petrochemical sector. It features general sessions with high-profile speakers, breakout discussions on policy and technology, networking events, and a modest exhibition. Typical attendance is 2,000–5,000 with 30+ exhibitors. Sessions address energy geopolitics, regulatory updates (e.g., EPA), AI and digital tools in operations, process technologies such as hydroprocessing and alkylation, water management, and fuel market dynamics. The event is organized by AFPM and rotates among US venues, frequently in Texas or Louisiana.
