2022 Convention Program

Your 2022 Convention Program committee has been hard at work developing a convention schedule that includes many new features. The planning continues with all program committees currently working on workshop topics that will be presented this year.

Some of the highlights include:

• Opening reception on Sunday evening at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. This event themed, A “Fair” for Fair Folk will cap off the first full day of education, celebrate 2022 as a year of Fairs United, and start the networking for the rest of the IAFE Convention.

• Experiences built into the convention program. Indianapolis offers many unique venues, some within walking distance of the convention center. We will be working with select venues in Indianapolis to provide not only an in-depth tour of their facilities but education based on their expertise. Venues could include:

• Gainbridge Fieldhouse (home of the Indiana Pacers)

• Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Indianapolis Colts)

• The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the largest in the world

• Indianapolis Motor Speedway

• Exploring ways to include your agricultural displays in the convention. Interested in bringing your display, please fill out the attached form. https://forms.gle/4rapTY6HUCSjpwUY6

• Happy Hour with games in the trade show

• Contest demonstrations throughout the event

• Not only a keynote speaker but also a comedian to help us celebrate.

• Continuation of the Buyer’s Breakfast with Trade Show Exhibitors

Registration will open on June 1 for all attendees. Check out the program updates as they are posted here.
