College students and recent graduates are encouraged to attend CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, TN, February 3rd–5th.  The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association said the event will prepare these young people for careers in the cattle industry.

Future agricultural leaders will have the opportunity to engage with potential employers during the new “Career Crawl” at the NCBA Trade Show on Thursday, February 5th.

“The largest cattle industry event of the year is a great place for the next generation to network with some of our industry’s most impactful companies,” said NCBA President Buck Wehrbein. “We hope this new career event opens doors for future leaders.”

Attendees can visit with participating “Career Crawl” companies at the NCBA Trade Show on Thursday to explore internships, job openings, and career opportunities, while engaging in meaningful conversations with agriculture professionals.  Also, the first 250 FFA members and 250 4-H members to register will receive complimentary one-day Thursday registration, courtesy of Culver’s and Nationwide.
