ROSEN recently attended the American Gas Association (AGA) Operations Conference and Biennial Exhibition in Grapevine, Texas. The event took place in the Gaylord Grapevine Hotel on May 18th – 21st, 2015.

The AGA Operations Conference is the associations largest forum with more than 500 attendees and over 100 technical presentations. The biennial exhibition hosts over 150 vendors serving the natural gas industry.
