The 2025 Gas Operations School has officially wrapped, and what a week it was!

Hosted once again on the beautiful campus of Bryant University, this year’s school brought together natural gas professionals from across the region for a powerful blend of hands-on learning, classroom training, and networking. The energy and engagement throughout the week reminded us just how important this event is to ensuring the successful knowledge transfer that ensures the the future of safe, reliable energy across our region.

Highlights from This Year’s Program:

• Hands-On and Classroom Learning:
  Attendees deepened their skills through a wide range of courses — from technical field work to essential classroom instruction. Whether it was learning the latest on corrosion control or working directly with new tools and technologies, the focus remained on real-world application and safety.

• Keynote on Safety Management Systems:
  One of the most impactful moments came during our keynote address, which centered on Safety Management Systems (SMS). The session emphasized that safety isn’t a static protocol — it’s a continuous, organization-wide commitment.

• The Executive Symposium on Supply ChainThe Executive Symposium on Supply Chain was back by popular demand. Featuring an exciting keynote from Xylem's Mike McGann, and with dialogue from across the industry on solutions to supply chain challenges, this was an important conversation.

• Site Visits:
  Participants had the opportunity to tour live facilities and operational sites, gaining firsthand insight into best practices on the ground.

• Exhibit Hall & Exhibitor Engagement:
  The exhibit hall was buzzing, thanks to the participation of vendors and solution providers showcasing tools, gear, and technologies shaping the future of gas operations.

• Networking & Community Events:
  As always, Gas Ops School isn't just about learning — it's about connection. From the clambake and BBQ to the softball game and Gas Rodeo, there were plenty of opportunities to network, unwind, and celebrate the people who keep our systems running.
