Annual Convention

Thank you for attending the NGFA’s 122nd Annual Convention in Scottsdale, where 675 attendees heard from several distinguished speakers including Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, elected new NGFA officers including chairman Eric Wilkey, and hit the golf course to raise money for the National Grain and Feed Foundation. The NGFA’s Annual Convention is the premiere event for leaders in the grain, feed, processing and export industry and — thanks to you — this year’s event at the Westin Kierland Resort raised the bar even higher! See you in Amelia Island, Fla., in 2019.

Save the date for 2019! We’ll be in Amelia Island March 17 – 19

Make memories at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, where southern charm, magnificent scenery and casually elegant surroundings exemplify the gentle ambience of this barrier island’s luxury beachfront resort. Located on a grand stretch of pristine coastline, this North Florida resort is the perfect place for families to reconnect. For couples to retreat. And for groups to rediscover their collaborative spirit. Revel in the stunning coastal views revealed from the private balcony of luxurious accommodations inspired by the ocean.
