In a rapidly evolving energy landscape, the 41st International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo (FEW) will return June 9–11, to the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The event, recognized as the largest and longest-running ethanol conference in the world, brings together ethanol producers, industry experts and policymakers to drive innovation and chart the course of the industry’s future. The FEW is produced by Ethanol Producer Magazine, the leading trade publication of the ethanol industry, and organized by BBI International.
“There’s no substitute for being in the room with the people who are shaping the future of ethanol — this is where it happens,” said John Nelson, chief operating officer at BBI International. “In addition to being the largest and longest running ethanol event during the past 41 years, the FEW is where producers, innovators and decision-makers come together to tackle challenges, share solutions and spark the next wave of industry progress. If you want to be part of what’s next, this is where you need to be.”
