Experience the NGFA Annual Convention

Where Industry Meets Inspiration

The NGFA Annual Convention unites leaders and professionals from the grain, feed, and processing industries to advance the sector, engage in association leadership, and build meaningful connections in a collaborative atmosphere.

This year, we’re heading to Nashville, Tennessee – “Music City” – a destination as lively and iconic as the industry we serve. From the legendary Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium to a rich Southern culinary scene and historic landmarks, Nashville provides the perfect backdrop to shake off winter and connect with colleagues in a relaxed, fun setting.

Whether you’re looking to gain insights from top-tier speakers, take part in impactful committee work, strengthen professional relationships, or simply enjoy the energy of a city that celebrates creativity and connection, NGFA ‘s 130th Annual Convention is your can’t-miss event of the year.
