Good Evening Members,

As we prepare for Sunshine EXPO® 2026, I couldn't be more excited about the powerhouse lineup we're bringing to you this year. Every session has been intentionally curated to deliver real value the kind of insight, strategy, and forward-thinking perspective that strengthens our industry and keeps Florida moving.

Here's a look at what's in store:

Hurricane Preparedness Panel (Sunday Afternoon)

We're kicking things off with a critical conversation on fuel supply, emergency response, and what it truly takes to keep our state operational when it matters most, featuring leaders who know these realities firsthand.

State of the Industry with Denton Cinquegrana

One of the most respected oil analysts in the country brings a sharp, data driven look at market trends and pricing dynamics, insights every retailer and supplier will benefit from.

Keynote Breakfast & FPMA Scholarship Awards (Monday Morning)

We're honored to welcome Florida's 13th Commissioner of Agriculture, Wilton Simpson (Invited), followed by an energizing keynote from Jeff Lenard of NACS on the trends shaping convenience retail today. This session alone is worth the trip.

This year's EXPO® is more than an event. It's a moment for our industry to learn, connect, and move forward together. I look forward to seeing you there and experiencing these exceptional sessions side by side.

Sincerely,

Pierce Schuessler, CEO
