Sand. Power. Water. September. October. November.

In the time between Labor Day and Thanksgiving this year, we will be on the road a lot to participate in 5 key industry events.

The conferences cover 3 of the shale industry’s top categories (each with robust addressable markets).

We hope to see you at some of these.

Today, we preview the conferences we are attending before year-end and provide some links in case you’d like to join us.

Several are co-located and back-to-back, so you can knock out two events in one trip – nice!

We are looking forward to these. They have a great track record of being worth the time, drawing senior execs, and delivering great learning and networking opportunities.

Listed in calendar order, here’s a quick preview of each…
