The 2016 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, the ethanol industry's largest conference, has released its highly anticipated agenda featuring more than 140 speakers and four comprehensive tracks. Taking place June 20-23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the FEW provides the global ethanol industry with cutting-edge content and unparalleled networking opportunities in a dynamic business-to-business environment. Now in its 32nd year the FEW is the largest, longest running ethanol conference in the world—and the only event produced exclusively by Ethanol Producer Magazine.
“This year’s agenda covers the latest innovations and efficiencies currently being developed for ethanol production,” said Tom Bryan, president of BBI International. “The agenda committee did an outstanding job of rating presentation abstracts and bringing the brightest biofuels minds together under one roof for this event.”

This year’s FEW in Milwaukee is expected to draw nearly 2,000 attendees, including ethanol producers, industry suppliers, service providers and researchers from around the world. During the course of the event they’ll discuss issues categorized into four tracks: Production and Operations; Leadership and Financial Management; Co-products and Product Diversification; and Infrastructure and Market Development.
This year, the National Advanced Biofuels Conference & Expo is co-located with the FEW, making this one of the largest gatherings of biofuels producers, professionals and presenters in the past decade. The advanced biofuels event will feature the world of advanced biofuels and biobased chemicals—technology scale-up, project finance, policy, national markets and more—with a core focus on the industrial, petroleum and agribusiness alliances defining the national advanced biofuels industry.
