By all accounts, the 17th Annual National Ethanol Conference held February 22-24 in Orlando, Florida was a big success. “I actually think this was our best conference ever,” RFA CEO Bob Dinneen said at the conclusion of the event which drew 1200 attendees and headline speakers. “I just thought the vibe in the room was very, very constructive. People are sober about the marketplace, but they are very hopeful about the future.”
Dinneen was especially pleased with Secretary Vilsack’s address and the luncheon with Karl Rove and Robert Gibbs, as well as some of the great panel discussions that included some ethanol opponents. “I think there’s just benefit to everybody being informed. I respect other people’s opinions,” he said.
