Over 700 gather in Omaha for 15th annual ACE conference

August 1, 2002

The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) held it's 15th Annual Meeting & Ethanol Conference last month in Omaha, Neb. This year's event was larger than ever, boasting an attendance of over 700 ACE members and friends, as well as a successful trade show.

Some big names were in attendance at this year's event. Nebraska Governor Mike Johanns kicked off the 2002 ACE annual meeting, on the morning of Thursday, July 18th, and was later joined by Senators Tom Daschle and Richard Lugar live via satellite from Washington, D.C. Also included on Thursday's agenda was a live presentation of the AgriTalk radio program, and featured speaker Nancy Sutley of the California EPA. Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel was on-hand to open Friday's general session.

Ethanol producer-future producer update
Something that has become a tradition and highlight at the ACE annual meeting is the ethanol plant update - this year was no different. A packed room listened intently as 31 ethanol producers and future producers provided updates on their new and completed projects. "It's always exciting to hear what all of our ethanol producer members are doing," said Guthmiller.
