102nd New York FFA state convention
The New York State FFA Convention is scheduled to take place from May 5-7, 2027! We are looking forward to gathering in-person at the New York State Fairgrounds and welcoming over 2,500 FFA members, advisors and honored guests from across the state to hear from inspiring speakers, grow professional networks, and conduct official business.
State Convention offers you the opportunity to expand your knowledge during workshops and demonstrations. You can explore different fields in the agriculture industry and connect meaningfully with agricultural business professionals and colleges during the Career Engagement Expo.
State Convention is our venue for state finals for 30 of our Career and Leadership Development Events (CDEs and LDEs). Students will test their knowledge and skills against others at the same competitive level and have the opportunity to take part in any number events or watch, learn, and observe as others compete by demonstrating their talents, aptitudes and abilities. Many of the CDE/LDE's serve as qualifiers to the National FFA Convention.
This event celebrates the incredible achievements of our members, advisors and avid supporters. Attendees walk away with new ideas for future success, laying the foundation for the start of the next year of activity, growth and effort. The State FFA Convention is New York FFA’s culminating event and the place where the FFA vision comes to life in the individual stories of each attendee as we actively work to grow the next generation of leaders who will change the world.
Future Convention Dates:
May 3-5, 2028
