Member Connect keeps the conversation going.

Member Connect is the Oilfield Tailgate community area for energy professionals, colleagues, families and friends. Existing contacts are discoverable to signed in members by default unless they opt out. Members can find people in the directory, request connections, exchange private messages, share event plans and join community discussions.

Yes. Member Connect membership is free. Existing eligible Oilfield Tailgate contacts have membership included. Tickets, sponsorships and merchandise are separate.

Submitting a signup or contact form automatically saves your contact record, free Member Connect enrollment and Oilfield Tailgate email signup, then opens Member Connect with that membership already signed in on the same browser. No additional signup form or checkbox is required. Existing contacts can sign in with the primary email on their Oilfield Tailgate contact record.

Your email addresses and phone stay off your member profile. Existing contacts appear in the member directory by default with their name, company and title where available. You can hide your profile and pause connection requests in My profile. You can decline or block requests from other members, and choose whether to share your contact details in a conversation. Every membership includes an automatic, permanent connection to Matt Hill that cannot be blocked or removed.

Sign in to Member Connect and open My profile to review your information and member contact preferences. Uncheck Show my profile and choose Save privacy preferences to opt out of discovery without completing other profile fields. You can also pause connection requests without changing your Oilfield Tailgate emails. Use the unsubscribe link in an Oilfield Tailgate email to stop those emails, or contact Matt for help.

No. Member profiles, messages and community activity require sign in and the applicable membership access. This public overview explains the service without publishing member information.

Every active member can open a personal QR code in My profile. An approved member who scans it can see only the profile details that member chose to share and can send a private connection request. At the entrance, an authorized Tailgate Host scan checks the member into the selected event. The code contains no email address, phone number or private contact record.
