National FFA Convention Registration
The National FFA Board of Directors has set the 2010 National FFA Convention registration fee at $50. Chapters who book rooms through the National FFA Housing block will receive a $10 discount.
Over the years, as the national FFA convention has become a larger, more dynamic event, FFA has experienced a steady increase in convention operating costs. Sponsorships and other revenues have helped to offset these costs, but they do not cover them completely. Your convention registration fees only cover a fraction of the overall costs of running the convention.
National FFA staff continues to search for new ways to cut costs while also maximizing the convention experience for FFA members. We strive to keep registration fees as affordable as possible.
