2018 American Farm Bureau Annual Convention Nashville
 
American Farm Bureau Federation
99th Annual Convention
Nashville, Tennessee

Welcome to the Kentucky Farm Bureau registration site for the 2018 American Farm Bureau Annual Convention!  On this website, you will find information regarding the tentative agenda for convention, descriptions and pricing for ag tours offered by Tennessee Farm Bureau, AFBF Foundation event information, KFB sponsored event information, Travelex travel insurance outline and pricing sheet, and full event Terms & Conditions.

This phase of registration will allow attendees to update their existing records and add convention registrations, purchase ag tour tickets or Foundation event tickets, and sign up for KFB sponsored functions. Changes to sleeping room arrangements are not allowed as we have sent these reservation requests to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and American Farm Bureau Federation.

We are also accepting new registrations for those that did not previously reserve sleeping rooms and only want to register for convention, purchase ag tour tickets or Foundation event tickets, or sign up for KFB sponsored functions.

Updating Existing Registrations (You have already reserved sleeping rooms)
To update existing records, you will need to have the email address you used to create that record and the reference number sent to you in the confirmation for those reservations. This email confirmation would have come from Katherine.Fugate@kyfb.com and would have been titled Confirmation for 2018 American Farm Bureau Annual Convention Nashville - Sleeping Room Reservation Request. We have also resent those confirmations to your email address, so you should have received an additional copy within the past few days. The reminder email was titled Reminder: 2018 AFBF Annual Convention Sleeping Room Reservation Request.

To begin, click on “Modify Registration” on the right hand side of the screen. Then you will be prompted to fill in the email address used to request the sleeping rooms and the reference number. You will then proceed through the pages and fill out or select the appropriate information. We do ask that you pay particular attention to the “Attendee Information” section as you register the primary attendee. The name filled in here will be used to reserve the sleeping room. If you need to change the name initially used to hold the sleeping room, you can do that here. We also ask that you fill in the additional names of those individuals staying in the sleeping room at the bottom of that page. Once you complete the primary attendee’s registration, you will be able to add additional attendees to the registration.

Please note: changes to sleeping room arrangements are not allowed as we have sent these reservation requests to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and American Farm Bureau Federation. Please reference your initial confirmation for your reserved check in and checkout dates.

New Registrations
If you did not request sleeping rooms in the first round of registration, but do want to register for convention, purchase ag tour tickets or Foundation event tickets, or sign up for KFB sponsored functions, you will need to click on “New Registration” in the upper right hand corner. You will then proceed through the pages and fill out or select the appropriate information.

In an effort to try and accommodate all of our attendees, we will accept new requests for sleeping rooms at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. However, we do want to remind everyone that it is likely that AFBF will have to place some room reservations from each state into an overflow property (which has not been determined by AFBF yet).  This is due to the fact that the Gaylord Opryland does not have enough rooms to accommodate the rooming levels anticipated. For that reason, all room requests will be made on a first come, first served basis.  If we are given notice by AFBF that some of our rooms will be moved to another property, rooms will be moved based strictly on the time and date of the reservation.  There will be a place to fill in a new sleeping room requests on the Attendee Information Page, after selecting “New Registration” in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Once we receive that request via the online system, we will work with AFBF to see about availability. Katherine Fugate will follow up individually with each person making a request for an additional sleeping room. If we are not able to accommodate the room request at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, we will most likely be able to acquire additional rooms from AFBF for the Convention, but they may be at a different hotel property.

Deadline
The online registration system to accept registrations fees, tour tickets, Foundation event tickets, and breakfast reservations – along with payment will be open until Thursday, November 9, 2017 at 11:59 PM EDT.  All arrangements are final and non-refundable after November 9, 2017.

Please feel free to contact Katherine Fugate at 502-493-7633 or Kelli Jolly, Operations Administrative Assistant, at 502-495-7772, with any questions you might have. We hope you will join us in Nashville for the 2018 American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention!
