The annual conference will provide agricultural education students the opportunity to participate in Leadership and Career Development Event competitions, be recognized for accomplishments in events during the past year, become inspired by motivational speakers, interact with college and business professionals, and develop leadership skills. Chapter delegates and Iowa FFA Officers will also conduct the annual business session to make decisions for the student-run Iowa FFA Association. Students will also be engaged in a service project with Meals from the Heartland. Several exciting guests will be present at the 2023 Iowa FFA Leadership Conference. Keynote Chris Norton, motivational speaker and National FFA Southern Region Vice President, MacKenna Clifton will address the conference. State officers from 10 other states will also be in attendance presenting various workshops and interacting with FFA members from Iowa.
