SIGMA Meetings
SIGMA’s universally popular meetings are well known for provocative educational forums, productive business meetings, lively social activity and flawless execution. The Education Committee sets the stage for success by working with staff to develop appealing themes, program topics, speakers, promotional ideas and other special events for our Executive Leadership Conference, Spring Convention, and the Annual Meeting. Members consider SIGMA meetings to be one of the premier benefits of membership.

There’s no place better to attract the attention of independent gasoline marketers than at a SIGMA event or meeting. Our members are your potential buyers. There are numerous opportunities to interact with SIGMA members. Below is a list of major events:

“The meeting was one of the best I have ever attended. The overall content was
excellent, the reception was outstanding, and we heard some great presentations.”

“The best convention going...we had wonderful time, and made many, many
contacts in a great setting...many thanks to SIGMA for the first-class convention.”

“Best SIGMA I’ve attended. Your group gets friendlier every convention.”
