93rd National FFA Convention and Expo being held virtually next week

FFA members and supporters from across the country will log on to their smart devices next week to celebrate agriculture during the 93rd National FFA Convention and Expo. The event, which is traditionally the largest student convention in the country, will be held virtually this year. While the event will look different this year, an FFA spokesperson says it will “still have the amazing programming that we always offer our students and supporters.” The general sessions, which will recognize the award winners, will air live on RFD-TV and the Cowboy Channel and streamed on RFD-TV Now, the Cowboy Channel + app and FFA.org, allowing members and supporters to tune in and watch gavel-to-gavel coverage of the events with no registration required. Those who register for the virtual event can experience many of the traditional convention experiences, including a member experience room, the Expo Hall, and Blue Room, staples of the in-person event. The convention will wrap up with the election of the 2020-21 National FFA Officer Team.
