Registration is now open for the Renewable Fuels Association’s 31st annual National Ethanol Conference, taking place in Orlando, February 24–26. The 2026 event is themed “Ethanol Unleashed” to reflect the industry’s robust growth potential, said RFA Board Chairman Derek Peine, CEO/General Manager of Western Plains Energy in Kansas.
“From booming export numbers to strong RFS volumes, today’s ethanol industry is poised for success as it saves drivers money at the gas pump, bolsters the farm economy and clears the air,” Peine said. “At the upcoming National Ethanol Conference, more than 1,000 industry professionals will have opportunities to network and collaborate, learn and share best practices, and celebrate our industry’s achievements. We’ll also be looking forward to the important work that still needs to be done to fully unleash ethanol’s potential. We hope to see everyone who has a stake in renewable fuels at this important conference.”
Since 1996, NEC has been the nation’s most widely attended executive-level conference for the ethanol industry, where sessions featuring globally renowned speakers are interspersed with numerous networking opportunities to help the industry connect and collaborate. Last year in Nashville, RFA hosted industry stakeholders from 37 states and 18 foreign countries.
