NAPE Expo, established in 1993 by the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL), is recognized as the world’s largest and most prominent exhibition focused on the exploration and production (E&P) sector of the energy industry. It offers unmatched opportunities for energy professionals to connect, network, and conduct business in a dynamic environment where deals are commonly made. The expo serves as a vital marketplace for buying, selling, and trading prospects and producing properties, attracting a diverse range of participants, including investors, lawyers, and executives from small to large E&P companies. Each year, NAPE hosts multiple events, including the NAPE Summit, where domestic and international decision-makers come together to forge and finalize agreements that drive the industry forward.
In addition to its extensive history of facilitating partnerships, NAPE Expo has continuously evolved to include new areas of focus, such as renewable energy and Bitcoin mining, aligning with emerging trends in the energy sector. NAPE is committed not only to deal-making but also to giving back to the community. Over the years, it has raised significant funds for various charities, helping veterans and supporting disaster relief efforts.
The Expo's economic impact is profound, notably in and around Houston, Texas, where it has contributed millions of dollars annually. With a high proportion of attending decision-makers and a strong rate of exhibitor satisfaction, NAPE Expo is regarded as the essential venue for industry professionals to explore opportunities, make connections, and ultimately, drive their businesses to new heights.
