The Southeastern Convention and International Propane Expo marks the official “end of winter” and “beginning of spring” for the propane industry. Along with being a great way to see innovations in the field, talk about supply strategies, and catch up with friends and colleagues, this convention is also a great place to discuss the "unofficial" hot topics in the industry.
Propane conference season is coming soon. Last week we highlighted several upcoming events in the United States. Because propane is a global commodity, we wanted to also feature some associations and meetings that will be occurring internationally.
Halfway through winter is usually the time that people start wondering if spring will ever arrive. It’s also the time of year people start preparing for the upcoming propane conference season.
To help everyone get ready for the 2024 conference season, we wanted to provide a brief outline of events taking place from the end of February through May.

We enjoy working with Westlark Advisors. Great people who have helped our business!
Westlark Advisors has taken the burden of the everyday supply logistics off our plate and allowed us to focus on our operations in the critical times of the year. They have educated our team along the way and helped us brainstorm options/risks that fit our business model. Westlark Advisors has allowed the Tevis organization to explore opportunities within the supply and hedging arena that we would not have been exposed to without the relationship.
We experience less angst when making a futures purchase.*
They not only taught us how to plan and diversify our supply, but also new ways to protect the price. They have been great at negotiating supply deals and putting plans in place to know we will be secure when the market is not. I am confident that if things get tight we will be in a better position than our competitors.
We can’t say enough about the high level of service the entire team provided us. We relied on them and they came through for us over and over. They are complete professionals and a pleasure to do business with.
It has been one of the best decisions that our company has ever made. The Westlark Advisors team have looked after our interests since day one, and have executed the plan each year very well.
Westlark Advisors has partnered with energy firms since 1998 to provide transparent, value-driven commodity market advisory services.
