What
Summit 24 isn’t just any conference - it is a new type of industry event.
Back for its second year with a focus on sustainable aviation fuel, the event is held in an out-of-the-box venue with a topic that couldn’t be any more pertinent, attended by a diverse crowd who all have one shared goal - learning more about the future of biofuels and their impact on agriculture and energies.
The future is now.
In fact, the plane is about to take off.

Why
Rewind one year and I was swearing I would never attempt to tackle a conference again (true story!).
Rewind to the conclusion of Summit 23 and I was:
Shocked by how well it went
Thrilled at the overwhelmingly positive response from the crowd. Anyone in attendance did not regret their decision to do so.
Then, rewind to a few months after Summit 23 - I decided this year’s event needed to have a sustainable aviation fuel focus (having no idea it would quite literally take off like it has in recent months).
Summit 24’s fate was sealed in mid-January though as I spoke at a producer meeting in northeastern Iowa where LanzaJet’s Meg Whitty also presented.
It was that day I realized:
I don’t know enough about SAF and what it means for ag
The entire industry is behind the eight ball when it comes to the next generation of biofuels
Let me repeat this one again:
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. -Richard Dawkins
CHANGE IS HERE and there is more on the way in short order (40B —> 45Z effective January 1).
You don’t get the opportunity to see this many big names on ONE STAGE much less in a candid, No Bull format.
Don’t miss out.
