Small-Group Dialogue for Gas Operations Professionals
BLOOMINGTON, MN, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The MEA Energy Association (MEA) is pleased to announce the 2026 Gas Ops Roundtable, taking place March 16–18, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Detroit – Dearborn in Detroit, Michigan. The Gas Ops Roundtable is a focused, interactive forum designed for natural gas operations professionals to engage in group discussions, share practical solutions, and explore key industry trends alongside their peers and industry experts.
“The Gas Ops Roundtable creates an invaluable atmosphere for professionals to ask questions, share experiences, and collectively advance best practices in gas operations,” said Lauren Denney, energy programs manager with MEA Energy Association.
This year’s event offers a deliberately focused format that encourages richer dialogue and direct exchange among attendees. Sessions are moderated by experts and shaped by MEA’s Gas Committees — including Codes & Standards, Measurement & Controls, Distribution, Safety, and Gas Control — ensuring content is relevant, practical, and timely.
Highlights of the 2026 agenda include discussions on:
• AI in the control room
• Addressing workforce evolution and a “green” workforce
• Ultrasonic meters
• Managing third-party involvement
• Knowledge transfer across generations
• And many other operational topics relevant to the natural gas utility community
“Attendees will have the opportunity not merely to listen — but to participate, ask questions, and return home with actionable insights,” added Denney. This peer-to-peer dynamic sets the Gas Ops Roundtable apart from traditional conference formats. Register at MEAenergy.org/gas-ops-roundtable.
