The 30th annual Commodity Classic, held last week in San Antonio, set another record for attendance with more than 12,000 farmers, exhibitors, industry stakeholders, and media.
More than 5,100 farmers attended the event at the Henry B. González Convention Center, accounting for nearly 43% of total attendance and representing a significant concentration of farm decision-makers. Commodity Classic has now achieved new attendance highs for four consecutive years, including recent shows in Denver (2025), Houston (2024), and Orlando (2023).
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins toured the trade show floor and delivered remarks during a highly attended General Session. The event featured more than 30 educational sessions, a full trade show spanning two floors, and policy meetings hosted by the sponsoring commodity associations. Attendees heard from leading farmers, policymakers, and industry experts on the issues shaping the future of agriculture.
The 2027 Commodity Classic will be held March 3–5 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Companies interested in exhibiting may submit inquiries to tradeshow@commodityclassic.com. Registration will open in November 2026. Follow Commodity Classic on Instagram (@CommClassic) and Facebook for updates.
