FFA members from across the country are preparing to converge on Indianapolis, Indiana, for the 91st National FFA Convention & Expo, October 30-November 2. The event is the largest annual youth gathering in the United States, with nearly 60,000 attendees expected.
The National FFA Convention & Expo is a time for members to come together to celebrate their accomplishments, learn new things and make connections with other members from around the country. This year’s convention will feature a variety of educational sessions, competitions, exhibits and more.
One of the highlights of the convention is the marketing plan finals. This competition gives FFA members the opportunity to create a marketing plan for a product or service. They must then present their plan to a panel of judges.
The finalists for the marketing plan finals are:
1st place – Hannah Hinkle and her team from North Carolina for their plan for a new line of pet products
2nd place – Kaitlyn Hinkle and her team from North Carolina for their plan for a new line of pet products
