I received an unsolicited email about housing options. Is it real?
The National FFA Organization works directly with Visit Indy’s Housing Bureau. If you receive unsolicited emails from groups/individuals stating they are representing our convention, offering accommodations within the National FFA room block and non-room block hotels, please do not reserve rooms through them as they are not representing our convention. Please feel free to forward those emails directly to National FFA Convention Management (convention@ffa.org).
