Next Gen Conferences Are Back!
Next Gen conferences, which occur three times a year, focus on specific career pathways. This application-based conference allows students to map out their future through career exploration sessions, industry roundtables and tours. We know our FFA members are the next generation of leaders to fill the talent pipeline, and what better way to prepare them than through the Next Gen Conferences? The conferences are open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.
