The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) has released its preliminary agenda for the upcoming 39th annual ACE Conference, August 19-21 in Minneapolis.

The agenda features several key speakers, including U.S. Representative Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), oil market analyst Tom Kloza, and Ryan LeGrand, President and CEO of U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council (USGBC). Representative Fischbach and Tom Kloza will be featured during the general session on Thursday, August 20.

“Biofuels are essential to the strength of our rural economy, providing market stability for our hardworking farmers, lowering costs for families at the pump, and reinforcing American energy independence,” said Congresswoman Fischbach. “I look forward to joining the American Coalition for Ethanol at this year’s annual conference to discuss how we can continue to advance and protect our homegrown energy priorities.”

Additional speakers and session details will be added in the weeks ahead. The event is being held at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center and reservations for the room block must be received by July 21. Early bird registration discounts end July 17.
