This year marks the 25th anniversary of the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, and exciting changes are on the way for the event that brings together the industry. The FEW will be held June 15-18 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. The most recent information is available at

Despite the economic downturn, there is still plenty of interest in the event. Registration is open, and more speaker abstracts were submitted to this year's event than in any other of the FEW's 25 years.
Some of this year's changes include co-locating the International Distillers Grains Conference & Trade Show and the Advanced Biofuels Workshop. It's an effort to bring together all facets of the industry in one place at one time.
The event has always been primarily targeted at people that work in ethanol plants—those that make the industry run. This year, every ethanol facility in North America will receive two free full-access passes to the event. Future producers are also eligible for the complimentary passes, as are the personnel of idle facilities. More information is available here:
