Pacific Section of AAPG and SPE Western Region is soliciting exhibitors for the 2026 Pacific Section AAPG / SPE Western Regional Joint Meeting and Exhibition to be held April 12-16, 2026 at the Double Tree Hotel in Bakersfield, California. Being the largest AAPG / SPE event in the Western Region, we expect over 300 industry and community members from throughout the region to attend this incredible joint meeting.
By participating as an exhibitor at this event, you guarantee your organization’s exposure to a targeted oil and gas audience from within the basin across three full days of technical programming, industry addresses and networking events. Additionally, exhibitors ensure their active role in supporting SPE activities and helping to fund the section’s annual civic and scholastic giving initiatives.
In an effort to provide as much value as possible to exhibitors, the exhibit hall will be located in the same ballroom as all of our flagship events, including the keynote luncheon and networking activities. Additionally, all coffee services, snack breaks, social hours and door prize giveaways will be held in the exhibit hall to guarantee engagement of conference attendees with exhibiting organizations.
