The Midwest is one of the more active regions for gas station and petroleum industry conferences in 2026, with events spread across Illinois, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri, and beyond.
This page covers nine conferences worth knowing, ranging from fuel retail and convenience to renewable fuels and EV charging infrastructure. The M-PACT Tradeshow in Indianapolis opens the calendar in April, drawing convenience and fuel retailers looking at store operations and supplier relationships. By June, the Fuel Ethanol Workshop and Expo in Omaha shifts focus to fuel blending and ethanol markets.
