brings all segments of the petroleum mar-
keting industry together to network and
learn," stated Eric DeGesero, executive vice president

new show."
Judy Garber, executive director, OESP, stated, "The
joint show provided each of the partners the ability
to sponsor an industry-wide convention and trade
show and enabled each of the sponsors to reach a
wider audience as our attendance and participation
exceeded our projections. We offered four tracks
of business programming during the event and the
feedback to date has been very positive."
