About the GPA Midstream Convention
Sept. 20-23, 2026 | San Antonio, Texas
GPA Midstream Convention is the midstream industry’s premier annual event. Register. This gathering is the ultimate destination for more than 1,800 midstream professionals from around the world to connect, collaborate, and explore the latest industry trends and innovations.
Vendor night is a prime time for leading brands to connect with the industry’s decision-makers in a fun, engaging, and relaxed environment.
What is Vendor Night?
The GPA Midstream Convention emphasizes papers, presentations, forums, and networking opportunities rather than the traditional exhibit hall typical of other conferences. The Convention offers one exhibit period called Vendor Night, with a limited number of booth spaces the opening night reception. In 2026, that’s Sunday, Sept. 20. The San Antonio venue offers 25 spaces. Each is 10×10 feet. The space cost is $2,500 for members and $5,000 for non-members. These spaces are delegated through a lottery system.
The enrollment period for the Vendor Night lottery was March 2-13, 2026. Companies selected via random drawing were notified by March 31, 2026.
Vendor Night Entitlements
- Assigned exhibit space around the perimeter of the GPSA Early Bird Reception room

The Fine Print: Vendor Night Policies
- All company representatives attending Vendor Night, regardless of the extent or duration of their participation in other convention activities, must be registered for the GPA Midstream Convention to participate. Registration fees are not included in the Vendor Night costs.
- The enrollment period for the 2026 Vendor Night lottery was March 2-13, 2026. Absolutely no additional entries accepted after the enrollment period closes.
- All companies interested in a Vendor Night space must register for the lottery using the online sign-up form during the enrollment period — no sign-ups by phone, e-mail or fax will be accepted.
- All companies that sign up using the online form will receive one entry in the Vendor Night lottery. Companies are eligible for up to 16 additional entries if they meet criteria outlined below.
- The Vendor Night drawing will randomly select 25 exhibitors, as well as five alternates. Companies awarded Vendor Night positions are required to pay in full within 45 days of receiving space or the position will be awarded to an alternate in sequential order. Companies selected via random drawing were informed by March 31, 2026.
- Companies are limited to one logo and one company name (no taglines, marketing-related verbiage or related business units may be included in the name listing) in related convention materials as outlined in the Vendor Night Entitlements section.
- Vendor Night participation is not considered a “sponsorship,” therefore logo recognition levels listed in the GPA Midstream sponsorship packet do not apply to Vendor Night.
- Vendor Night space assignments will be chosen at random by GPA Midstream. Under no circumstances may a company move to another space.
- The Vendor Night cost is for space only. Companies are responsible for paying convention registration fees for employees attending, as well as providing their own signage, display materials, etc., for their exhibit space and must work directly with the hotel for needs other than the provided space (electrical, setup, cleanup, waste baskets, appetizers, desserts, etc.) at additional cost.
