The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) announced it will host Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts as the keynote speaker during the 32nd annual ACE conference.
The conference will take place August 14-16 in Omaha, Nebraska. Ricketts will kick off the general session on August 15, welcoming attendees and providing an update on how the state is advancing ethanol in the marketplace.
“For decades, ethanol has been an amazing success story, helping grow Nebraska and communities all across the heartland,” said Ricketts. “We look forward to hosting the 32nd annual conference of the American Coalition for Ethanol in Omaha this year.”
“We’re thrilled Governor Ricketts can join us again as we gather together to discuss pressing industry issues,” said Brian Jennings, ACE CEO. “The governor is a great advocate, and we look forward to hearing an update on Nebraska’s E30 demonstration program, as well as his perspective on a number of trade and policy issues impacting the industry.”
The 2019 ACE conference general session will follow Ricketts’ welcome with an update from ACE leadership.
Jennings will be joined by Ron Lamberty, ACE Senior Vice President, and Duane Kristensen, ACE Board President representing Chief Ethanol Fuels’ two Nebraska plants in Hastings and Lexington, in discussing the past year’s successes and challenges and highlighting upcoming opportunities for ACE members.
More agenda details will be available soon.
