The Manager's Meeting

About the Plant Maintenance Managers Meeting

The Team M3 event is a collaborative network of maintenance managers and plant professionals focused on improving reliability, efficiency and best practices across the ethanol industry. Through peer networking, technical learning and vendor engagement, the event helps maintenance teams stay connected and solve operational challenges together.

Producer-Driven. Maintenance-Focused. Industry-Tested.

For nearly two decades, the TEAM M3 Meeting has served as one of the ethanol industry’s most collaborative and practical maintenance-focused gatherings. Built by maintenance managers for maintenance managers, the event creates an environment where ethanol producers, plant personnel and industry vendors openly share operational challenges, maintenance solutions and reliability strategies.

The 2026 TEAM M3 Meeting is being explored as a continuation of the same peer-driven event style and Sioux City-area location the industry has supported for years — while enhancing communication, exhibitor coordination, sponsorship opportunities and overall event organization.
