2025 CI Host Application


Thank you for your interest in hosting a 2025 CASE Institute! Applications are due Friday, September 20th, 2024. After the application pool has closed, CASE will work to select the 2025 CASE Institutes and BriefCASEs for announcement at the 2024 National FFA Convention. While BriefCASE applications are ongoing, we strive to have the schedule set for the summer prior to convention for marketing and logistics.


New Policies

The CASE Executive Committee met this summer to finalize a few policies.

  • Lengthened registration deadlines (April 30th for June events, May 15th for July/August events)
  • Remove lodging from CASE Institute registration fees. Hosts continue to offer one evening meal within registration price.
  • Consistent pricing model for 2025 CASE Institutes (for example, all AFNRs would be the same price)
  • For more questions, please contact John Bergin at john.bergin@case4learning.org or review the Host Manual.
