FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Pipeline Life Launches America’s First National Pipeliners Tour
New National Rally-Style Event Series Puts America’s Pipeline Workforce Center Stage
COOKEVILLE, TENN. (July 15, 2026) — The pipeline industry has conventions, conferences, and trade shows.
What it has never had is a national event built specifically for the people who build America’s energy infrastructure.
That changes this summer.
The Pipeline Life, one of North America’s fastest-growing pipeline media brands, has announced the launch of the Pipeliners Tour—a first-of-its-kind national rally-style event series celebrating the skilled tradespeople who build, maintain, and operate America’s pipeline infrastructure.
The inaugural event will take place July 26, 2026, in Cookeville, Tennessee, featuring live music from the Logan Ryan Band and pipeline musician Clayton Runer, along with welding and equipment demonstrations, crew competitions, industry exhibitors, giveaways, and networking throughout the day.
Following the inaugural event, additional tour stops are planned across Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and other major pipeline regions.
The launch comes as the energy industry faces one of its largest skilled trades workforce transitions in decades. At a time when America’s energy infrastructure depends on attracting and retaining experienced workers, the Pipeliners Tour creates a place where crews, apprentices, contractors, manufacturers, unions, suppliers, and industry leaders can connect face-to-face while inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in the pipeline industry.
The event will also support The Pipeline Life Foundation, helping fund scholarships and workforce development opportunities for individuals pursuing careers in the skilled trades.
In addition to celebrating the men and women who keep America’s energy infrastructure moving, the Tour serves as a workforce awareness initiative by introducing young people to career opportunities in the pipeline industry and connecting them directly with experienced professionals and employers.
Sponsorship opportunities remain available in select exclusive industry categories, with additional opportunities available as the national tour expands.
