The first convention was held in 1928, in Kansas City, MO. After a 70 year relationship with Kansas City, the convention moved to Louisville, KY. In 2006, the convention moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where it will remain until 2012. Each year, nearly 55,000 FFA members and guests gather to learn about careers in the agriculture industry, compete for award money, volunteer in the community, and shapte the future of the National FFA Organization. Members, advisors, guests, and supporters are dazzled by renowned know speakers, laser shows, National FFA Officer retiring addresses, business sessions and entertainment by the National FFA Band, Chorus, and Talent. The event also includes a Hall of States, which promotes states and their unique agricultural products, a Career Show, FFA Shopping Mall and a variety of foods at the Food Court.
