99th State convention

The New York State FFA Convention is scheduled to take place from May 2nd to May 4th, 2024! We are looking forward to gathering in-person at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center and welcoming over 2,000 FFA members, advisors and honored guests from across the state to hear from inspiring speakers, peers and agricultural professionals. State Convention offers you the opportunity to expand your knowledge during workshops and tours by exploring different fields in the agriculture industry and networking with agricultural business professionals and colleges during the Career Engagement Expo.
State Convention is the 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 also gives us the opportunity to recognize our members, advisors and avid supporters throughout our week long convention. This culminating event, allows everyone to appreciate the hard work and dedication that our members, advisors and supporters invest in the future leaders of our communities.
