Let’s meet IRL

Hi EMPOWER folks,

We’ve got some content on the Renewable Fuel Standard as well as new info about refinery margins on the way for you next week. In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about some upcoming conferences that you might be interested in.

If you haven’t attended an AFPM conference before, don’t miss out! They are a lot of fun, and the speakers, networking and information can’t be found anywhere else. Bonus: The AFPM EMPOWER team will be at most of these, so come say hello!
