Angus Convention will be the place to discuss important topics

October 1, 2025

As a member of the American Angus Association, ensure you are up to speed on the topics that will be discussed during the upcoming Angus Convention and the 142^nd Convention of Delegates. The convention will be held in Kansas City, Oct. 31 through Nov. 2.

The 2025 Angus Convention is packed with activities for cattle producers to connect, collaborate and celebrate. You’ll notice that the convention schedule has been changed. Feedback from members told us that you wanted a shorter event held mostly over the weekend, so we’ve condensed the schedule. While we think everything is of value, we wanted to highlight the “can’t miss” sessions and provide additional information to members.

Angus breeders are always striving to make your Association the best it can be. Board members and staff have been fielding questions and we want to make sure you’ve got all of the information you need. We’ve created the following series of videos to help answer these commonly asked questions and share some new information with the membership. Below, you will also find a link to submit your questions ahead of Convention.

Association Governance:

How does the structure of the Association work? Why do we have entities? How does the relationship between the entities and the Association function?

Membership Survey:

Recently, the Association conducted a membership survey. What do members value most about the Association and where do they place priority for the future of the breed?

This survey will be discussed throughout the convention, including during the General Session 4 on Sunday morning.

Long Range Objectives:

In September, the Board of Directors approved the Long Range Objectives for 2026 through 2028. What is the process behind arriving at these objectives? How do they guide the Association board and staff?

Association board officers will lead an interactive session with real-time polls to gather insight from the membership on your views of the future of the business and the best strategies to accomplish these Long Range Objectives.

Ongoing Research Projects:

The Association, in partnership with AGI^®, continues to research important topics for members and the beef industry. What are those projects? What are we learning, and how might that be beneficial to you?
