Indiana Farm Bureau’s 2020 all-virtual convention will be different from any convention that has preceded it, but it will still include some of the things that make a convention special, including educational breakout sessions, the delegate session, the Young Farmers & Ag Professionals Discussion Meet, the president’s annual address, and even some live music.
The current plan, said INFB operations and event manager Chris Fenner, is for two virtual sessions. The first will be Dec. 11 from 12:30 to 3 p.m., and the second on Dec. 12 from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Below are some of the highlights of the tentative agenda for this year’s convention. More information, including how to register, the final agenda and how to view the delegate session, will be posted on INFB’s website, www.infb.org/events.
