Register Now for the American Farm Bureau Convention

The American Farm Bureau Federation announced the opening of general registration today for the 2027 American Farm Bureau Convention. The convention will be held Jan. 8-13, 2027, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The theme of the 108th consecutive American Farm Bureau Convention is “Driven to Lead. Fueled by Community.” The event will empower attendees with fresh ideas, new connections and inspiration to lead with purpose and strengthen their communities.

“The 2027 American Farm Bureau Convention will fuel attendees across agriculture and the Farm Bureau family as they lead, connect and make a difference in their communities,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “I look forward to welcoming farmers and ranchers to Charlotte in January as we kick off another year of feeding and fueling America.”

Duvall will give his annual address to Farm Bureau members during the convention’s opening general session on Sunday morning, Jan. 10.

The convention will feature a full lineup of engaging workshops across four tracks: public policy, rural development, member engagement and consumer engagement. Topics will include the economic outlook for agriculture, hot public policy issues, ag workforce solutions, the midterm elections, consumer perceptions, tools to support farmer mental health, and artificial intelligence on the farm.

The trade show will feature a dynamic array of exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations in agricultural technology, tools and services.

Several optional farm- and ag-related day tours will give attendees an opportunity to explore the Tar Heel State. Stops include a grain company, an orchard, vineyards, dairy farms, greenhouses and an equestrian center. Attendees can also sign up to visit the historic Biltmore Estate, the Billy Graham Library, a research laboratory and race shops that prep cars for NASCAR events.
