The National FFA Convention brings together tens of thousands of people for four consecutive days, from Wednesday to Saturday. This year, attendees will listen to a keynote speech from Laila Ali, a concert from Rascal Flatts and watch a rodeo. They will also participate in service projects, tours, workshops and the country's largest ag expo for students.
