Source: Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- The future of the farm equipment industry is shaped by the relationships you build, the ideas you discover, and the conversations you have today. That's why the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association (FEMA) invites manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, marketers, and industry partners to the 2026 Marketing & Distribution Convention, October 27-29, 2026, at the New Orleans Marriott. Designed exclusively for the shortline farm equipment industry, this three-day event delivers the connections, insights, and strategies companies need to stay competitive in an evolving marketplace. Whether you're looking to expand your dealer network, introduce new products, strengthen partnerships, or gain fresh perspectives on industry trends, this is where business gets done. Where Business Relationships Begin The Marketing & Distribution Convention is more than a conference--it's where meaningful conversations turn into real business opportunities. Connect with wholesalers, independent sales representatives, distributors, manufacturers, and industry leaders who can help grow your business. Exchange ideas with peers, discuss common challenges, explore new partnerships, and discover practical solutions you can put to work immediately. Some of the convention's greatest value happens outside the meeting rooms. Hallway conversations, networking receptions, and peer discussions often lead to lasting relationships, new customers, and innovative ideas that continue long after the event concludes. Learn from Industry Leaders The educational program is designed to deliver practical insights attendees can apply immediately. Featured sessions include an inspiring opening keynote from Alex Weber, who will share strategies for overcoming challenges, embracing change, and driving success. Attendees will also gain valuable perspective during FEMA's Economic Outlook General Session with Stantec economists Patrick Luce and Jeremy Bess, offering timely insights into the economic forces shaping the farm equipment industry. See Tomorrow's Technology Before Everyone Else Does. Innovation takes center stage with the inaugural FEMA AgTech Arena, a live startup pitch competition showcasing breakthrough technologies that are transforming agriculture. Created by FEMA's Technology Council, the AgTech Arena brings together emerging companies developing cutting-edge solutions in precision agriculture, automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, sensors, and next-generation farm equipment. Hear directly from the innovators behind these breakthrough ideas as they compete live before a panel of industry judges for the Grand Prize. Better yet, attendees become part of the action by voting for the Fan Favorite Award. Whether you're looking for your next customer, your next dealer, your next strategic partner, or the next breakthrough technology that could transform your business, the FEMA AgTech Arena is an experience you won't want to miss. Step Away to Move Your Business Forward Sometimes the best investment you can make is stepping away from your daily routine. The Marketing & Distribution Convention gives you the opportunity to think strategically, strengthen industry relationships, discover new opportunities, and return home with actionable ideas to help your business grow. The conversations you have, the people you meet, and the ideas you discover can shape your business long after the convention ends.
