2026 LP Gas Growth Summit: Take a look inside

October 28, 2026 By LP Gas 0 Comments

Preparation for the LP Gas Growth Summit starts months in advance. LP Gas team members hold conversations with retailers and partners, explaining the advantages of attending the annual event, which launched in 2015 to help industry leaders build propane partnerships. Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, just outside Orlando, has hosted all 11 Growth Summits. Here’s a look at how this year’s event unfolded.

▶ DAY 1

Registration

The first day of September marked the start of the 11th LP Gas Growth Summit, which drew more than 70 total attendees. This year, 20 retail propane companies and 21 industry partners registered to attend the event. Retailers came from 17 states and the Cayman Islands. In addition, 21 partners represented a variety of equipment and service categories. LP Gas team members welcomed attendees as they entered the impressive Grande Lobby at Reunion Resort. Two notables from the LP Gas side during registration: Rachel Rosen, event manager, oversaw her first LP Gas Growth Summit, and for the first time, attendees could download a Growth Summit app, created by marketing specialist Nate Stoltman.

Meet the Partners

LP Gas often refers to the Meet the Partners presentations as the “first date,” when partners introduce themselves, and retailers learn a bit about the partners. Like a baseball player walking up to bat or a celebrity making a grand entrance at an awards ceremony, partners at this year’s Growth Summit chose their “walk-up song” during the event-opening presentations. Tracks such as “We Are the Champions,” “Eye of the Tiger” and “Life Is a Highway” played over the speakers. Partners walk into the room one by one, addressing attendees for several minutes and sparking their interest ahead of their one-on-one meetings over the next couple of days.

Welcome Reception

The opening night welcome reception and dinner at Eleven Restaurant, high atop the Reunion Resort Grande Tower, gives everyone a chance to relax with good food, drinks and networking opportunities. Here, one can start to see the group settling into the event.
