The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is excited to host its 17th Annual Conference in Calgary, Alberta, in partnership with the Agriculture Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) at the Best Western Calgary Plaza Hotel Nov. 9 to 12, 2026.

With the theme Canadian Forage Systems: Designing for Durability, this year’s conference offers a dynamic program uniting Canada’s forage and grassland community to address resilience and long‑term system design. The agenda features two days of educational sessions, cutting‑edge research, practical grazing and forage management insights and cross‑sector conversations linking science, policy and on‑the‑ground experience. Attendees will hear from Prairie innovators, explore tools that boost economic and environmental performance and collaborate on building forage systems that withstand climate, market and land‑use pressures.

The CFGA’s Annual Conference is a prime opportunity to connect with sector stakeholders, expand your knowledge, grow your network and spark new collaborations. It’s a gateway to Canada’s 70 million acres of forage and grassland production, the science behind it and the producers who steward it. Along with the educational sessions, the 2026 program includes farm tours, a trade show, workshops and extensive networking with the more than 150 participants expected to attend, including producers, suppliers, service providers, government and industry leaders.
