SARL’s 2026 Legislative Agriculture Chairs Summit will take place January 3-5, 2026, in New Orleans, LA (NOLA)! The location will be the Sheraton New Orleans, right in the heart of downtown and close to many of NOLA’s iconic sites. All legislators with a passion for agriculture and rural communities are invited to participate!
Due to how the holidays fall in 2026, the Summit will start at noon on Saturday, January 3rd with lunch and then exciting program sessions – details will come soon. Farm and other site tours will take place on Monday, January 5th in the morning and the event will close with lunch that day.
SARL invites private industry and government sponsorships for those beyond elected officials interested in attending. For more information, contact SARL Executive Director Kay Smith at Kay@SARLus.
Since 2002, the Legislative Agriculture Chairs Summit has brought together state and provincial elected officials from across the U.S. and Canada to learn, engage and network with their peers who share similar challenges, passion and a commitment to ensuring a sustainable future for agriculture and rural communities.
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
