North Dakota Governor's Pipeline Summit
Bismarck State College
National Energy Center of Excellence Auditorium
Bismarck, North Dakota
Learn More About North Dakota's Pipeline Potential
You're invited to join Governor Jack Dalrymple and industry leaders to learn more about the future of pipelines in North Dakota. The North Dakota Governor's Pipeline Summit will take place the morning of Thursday, June 14 at the National Energy Center of Excellence, located at 1500 E. Edwards Avenue on the Bismarck State College campus.
Pipeline industry leaders will be on hand to talk about their potential investments in building the state's pipeline infrastructure to help reduce impacts in North Dakota's oil country. Pipelines provide great opportunity for helping to:
- reduce impacts to roads and highways,
- increase safety both on roads and product handling, and
- provide reliable and efficient routes to key market destinations.
There is no cost to attend the summit. If you plan to attend, please take a moment to pre-register now. On-site registration the day of the event will also be available.
