This year, with the theme “Focus Forward,” the National Ethanol Conference offers attendees the opportunity to look ahead to what the next quarter-century will bring for the U.S. ethanol industry, said RFA Board Chairman Neil Koehler, co-founder and CEO of Pacific Ethanol. The NEC is an executive-level conference for the ethanol industry. Speakers will address numerous topics, including discussions around new uses and technologies, policy and politics, the market outlook, and the future vision for high-octane, low-carbon fuels.
