The Public Policy Conference is open to AFPM member company employees only.  Our program this year will include an afternoon of presentations on Wednesday, followed by a Congressional reception that evening and wrapping up with committee meetings on Thursday morning.

Our second annual Public Policy Conference will feature insightful commentary and presentations on political, legislative, and regulatory topics affecting the refining and petrochemical industries.  The conference is designed to engage a wide range of public policy advocacy professionals at APFM’s regular and associate member companies: government relations, communications, public relations outreach and grassroots, legal and state and federal regulatory and legislative specialists.
