NGFA reschedules 125th annual convention to June 2021

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 12, 2020 — The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) today announced that given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it has rescheduled its 125th annual convention to June 2-4 at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, Calif. This decision was made with the health of NGFA members and guests, staff, speakers and exhibitors as the top priority.

NGFA’s Executive Committee met virtually on Nov. 9 and determined that uncertainty surrounding the pandemic likely will not change significantly enough during the winter months for NGFA to know it can host a quality in-person convention on the originally scheduled dates of March 14-16, 2021.

Before making this decision, the Executive Committee evaluated several potential options and alternatives, but ultimately decided that rescheduling the convention to June 2-4, 2021 (Wednesday-Friday) would provide the most flexibility, certainty and safety at this time.
