The Annual ACE Conference
2020 ACE CONFERENCE - NOW VIRTUAL - WITH THE FUEL ETHANOL WORKSHOP!
The American Coalition for Ethanol's Annual Conference will be held in conjunction with the 2020 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop (FEW) & Expo as a virtual event, on September 16, 2020.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the economic hardship it’s brought to bear on the ethanol industry, ACE leadership believes a virtual event, paired with the FEW, will provide members with a safe, robust opportunity to catch up on the latest industry news, network with peers, and discover new technology. The conference theme of “Rising Up” embodies the resilience demonstrated by those in the ethanol industry in response to the pandemic and the grit these individuals possess to rise together - stronger than before.
For more than three decades, the ACE conference has focused on the people of the ethanol industry and their priorities — a meeting where ethanol producers rub shoulders with retailers, policymakers, researchers, and other industry members. This year’s abbreviated event will consist of an afternoon of general session, including updates from ACE leadership, and insight on topics related to restoring and building ethanol demand.
Stay tuned for more agenda details in the coming weeks. All ACE conference attendees will also be able to attend the FEW and vice versa.
