The National FFA Convention and Expo has been named to Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 Class of 2025, recognizing it among the 100 largest trade shows in the United States. The annual event brought 73,379 attendees to Indianapolis last October and generated an estimated $41 million economic impact for the city. The convention spans multiple venues, including Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indiana Convention Center and the Indiana State Fairgrounds. National FFA says organizers also focus on giving back to the host community. Last year, FFA members and advisors braided 70,000 feet of paracord into more than 1,500 dog leashes, which were donated to Indy Humane. The National FFA Convention and Expo will be honored at the Gold 100 Awards and Summit September 22 through 24 in Palos Verdes, California. The recognition highlights the convention’s growing national scale and its role in connecting young people with agriculture and leadership opportunities. ...read more read less
