The 92nd National FFA Convention & Expo is almost here. It takes place in Indianapolis Oct. 30-Nov. 2, 2019, and is expected to draw approximately 70,000 FFA members from chapters across the nation. Are you planning to attend?
If you can’t make it this year, don’t worry. Thanks to social media, smartphones and the World Wide Web, there are plenty of easy ways you can engage from afar and share in the experience.
“Whether or not they can be there in person, it’s important for FFA members to participate in the National FFA Convention & Expo. This year, we’re making it more convenient than ever for people to remotely connect with the biggest FFA event of the year,” says Larry Downes, director of marketing and communications for the National FFA Organization.
