USDA’s 101st Agricultural Outlook Forum

Meeting Tomorrow’s Challenges, Today

Hybrid Event • February 27-28, 2025 • Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington VA

The Agricultural Outlook Forum (AOF) is USDA’s largest and premier annual gathering. The breadth and timeliness of the AOF programs have consistently drawn a diverse group of participants, including producers, processors, policymakers, government officials, and non-governmental organizations. It routinely attracts more than 1,800 people in person and several thousand virtual attendees from the U.S. and around the world.

The 2025 AOF Program will feature a presentation on the latest outlook for agricultural markets and trade by USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer, many distinguished guest speakers, and 30 breakout sessions covering a wide range of timely agricultural, food market and environmental issues. Onsite attendees will also have the opportunity to visit exhibit booths showcasing the important missions and activities of various USDA agencies, as well as recent USDA-funded innovations.

Two pre-Forum field trips will also be available, but please note that space is limited for each trip. See details.

Register now to secure your spot at the 2025 Forum and engage with industry leaders and experts.

Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to the conversations shaping the future of agriculture!
