Registration is now open for the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) 39th annual conference, August 19-21, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This year’s theme, “Fueling Freedom,” builds on America’s 250th anniversary celebration in 2026 and highlights how ethanol expands fuel choice, relieves pain at the pump, boosts rural economies, and strengthens U.S. energy security.
The conference will feature two days of general sessions covering a wide range of issues, including:
The latest developments in the E15 and E85 retail landscape,
Policy priorities to expand ethanol demand and unlock new markets beyond light-duty-vehicle use,
Global trade and export opportunities and challenges,
Technology innovations to improve efficiency 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.
