CONFERENCE & EXPO

2020 API STORAGE TANKOctober 12-15, 2020 | Grand Hyatt Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee

The work of the problem-solvers of our industry is never done.

2020 at the Grand Hyatt Nashville will be a different API Storage Tank Conference compared to past years, but one that’s right for you and all you work for. What will be the same is API bringing together the highest-level attendees in the industry.

We are doubling down on innovation, introducing the API Virtual Events Platform, allowing us to provide an engaging online experience for those who are unable to join us in Nashville. This feature will incorporate the latest technology and API’s deep experience in engaging communities online.

Online we’ll have a mix of live and pre-recorded content, Q&As, live polling, Zoom breakouts, 1:1 meeting scheduling, and additional features and content the vibrant technology allows. Additionally, virtual attendees have the flexibility to view featured content before the conference, and then come to live sessions with prepared questions.

We anticipate 25% of our attendees will be virtual, coming from those unable to travel, but also a new global audience. But we aren’t raising prices 25%, rather holding to our same pricing since 2017. That’s right. 2017. Additionally, in the unforeseen situation where we have to cancel the in-person event, we will issue all sponsors and exhibitors a 20% refund. Similarly, attendees registered for the in-person event will be refunded the price difference of $100, their registration automatically rolled into the virtual event.

Either way, you can participate with confidence, knowing that you will reach the loyal, dedicated high-level audience this API conference is known for.

Join us this November in Nashville. Because when people get together, things get done.
