The Renewable Fuels Association has opened registration for the 32nd annual National Ethanol Conference, taking place in Las Vegas February 15–17 with the theme “The Next Wave” to explore the strong future direction of the U.S. ethanol industry.

“Ethanol is riding a powerful wave of momentum, from booming export markets and strong RFS volumes to growing opportunities for higher blends and new technologies,” RFA Board Chairman Derek Peine, Western Plains Energy. “At the 2027 National Ethanol Conference, top industry professionals will come together to explore The Next Wave—the trends, innovations and policies that will shape the future of renewable fuels. We’ll talk about hot topics ranging from ethanol’s potential as a maritime biofuel to the 45Z clean fuel production tax credit. It will be a chance to network and collaborate, share ideas and best practices, celebrate how far our industry has come, and focus on the work needed to take ethanol to its next level.”

Since 1996, NEC has been the nation’s most widely attended executive-level conference for the ethanol industry, where sessions featuring globally renowned speakers are interspersed with numerous networking opportunities to help the industry connect and collaborate. Last year in Orlando, RFA hosted roughly 1,000 industry stakeholders from 40 states and 19 foreign countries.
