This conference is designed for frontline leaders working in high-risk, high-consequence environments—where leadership decisions directly impact people, safety, and results.

This event is for you if you:
  • Lead crews, teams, or shifts in oil & gas operations
  • Are responsible for execution, not just planning
  • Influence outcomes without always having formal authority
  • Want practical leadership tools you can apply immediately

This is not a motivational seminar or a theory-based leadership course.

This is leadership as it’s actually lived on the frontline.

April 28 - 29, 2026  - Edmonton (Leduc) 

What Makes This Event Different?

Most leadership conferences talk about leadership. This one is built for people who have to lead—under pressure, with real consequences.

At the AAP Frontline Leadership Conference, you will:
  • Hear from senior industry leaders who understand frontline reality
  • Participate in interactive workshops built around real scenarios
  • Learn alongside peers facing similar operational challenges
  • Leave with tools you can use on your very next shift

The entire event is centered around one question:
What legacy are you building through how you lead today?
