Exciting Changes for the Maine Association of Agricultural Fairs Annual Conference

We are thrilled to announce that the Maine Association of Agricultural Fairs Annual Conference will be held at the Cross Center in Bangor, Maine from January 23-25, 2026. This marks a significant change from our traditional location in Portland, and we understand that this transition may come with challenges. However, we believe that this new venue will allow us to bring you a more comprehensive and enriching program.

Why the Change?

For many years, Portland has been the beloved home of our conference, making it a familiar and comfortable setting for our attendees. Yet, as our conference has grown, so has the need for a larger and more accommodating facility. By moving to the Cross Center, we are ensuring that we can provide the best possible experience for everyone involved. This new location offers ample space for our expanded program, ensuring that we have room to be all together for our banquet and various sessions.

Expanded Program

We are committed to working diligently to bring you an enhanced and diverse program. Our team is working tirelessly to curate workshops, classes, and sessions that will provide the education and resources you need. We believe that the Cross Center's extensive facilities will enable us to offer a broader range of topics and activities, fostering an environment of learning and collaboration.

Call for Ideas

To ensure that our conference meets your needs and interests, we invite you to share your ideas for workshops, classes, and other sessions. Whether you have suggestions for short or longer sessions, your input is invaluable to us. Please let us know how we can make this conference the best it can be.

Stay Tuned

More details will be coming soon, so stay tuned for updates. We are excited about this new chapter in the Maine Association of Agricultural Fairs Annual Conference and look forward to welcoming you to Bangor in January 2026.
