The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) is pleased to announce registration is now open for its 38th annual conference, taking place August 20–22, 2025, at the new Canopy by Hilton in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This year’s theme, “Homefield Advantage,” focuses on the countless benefits ethanol delivers and how ACE is working to help its members unlock new market opportunities.

“ACE is working hard to give our members a competitive edge in unlocking new and valuable market opportunities,” said Brian Jennings, CEO of ACE. “We invite ethanol producers, farmers, retailers, and stakeholders to join us in Sioux Falls this summer as we discuss strategies and tactics to grow the value and demand for corn ethanol into the future.”

“For nearly four decades, the ACE conference has been a platform for biofuel leaders to come together, share knowledge, and shape the future of our industry,” said Katie Muckenhirn, ACE Vice President of Public Affairs. “Each year brings new challenges and opportunities, and this year’s agenda will focus on the most pressing topics facing ethanol today — and the solutions that will drive our continued growth.”

The conference will feature two days of general sessions covering a wide range of issues, including:

• Policy priorities to expand ethanol use and unlock new markets,
• The latest developments in the E15 and E85 retail landscape,
• Global trade and export opportunities and challenges,
• Technology innovations to enhance sustainability and profitability.

In addition, breakout sessions will offer attendees a choice of three focused tracks: Leadership & Management, Technology, and Carbon.

For nearly 40 years, The ACE has centered on the people of the ethanol industry — connecting producers, retailers, policymakers, and researchers in a collaborative setting designed to advance shared priorities.
