2026 WSTFA Annual Meeting & NW Hort Expo

The Washington State Tree Fruit Association (WSTFA) will host the 122nd Annual Meeting & NW Hort Expo on December 7, 8 and 9, 2026, at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick, Washington.

The Annual Meeting continues WSTFA’s longstanding tradition of bringing together growers, industry professionals, researchers, suppliers and leaders for one of the largest tree fruit educational gatherings in the country.

The three-day event provides an opportunity to connect with industry peers, explore the latest products and technologies, and hear from experts on the trends, challenges and opportunities impacting Washington’s tree fruit industry.

New for 2026 – Cherry Institute Joins Annual Meeting

We are excited to announce that Cherry Institute will be incorporated into the WSTFA Annual Meeting & NW Hort Expo for the first time in 2026.

Cherry Institute programming will take place on Wednesday, December 9, bringing this important industry event together with Annual Meeting under one roof. Attendees can look forward to a full day of cherry-focused education, industry updates and conversations addressing the issues and opportunities facing the cherry industry.

The addition of Cherry Institute creates even more opportunities for education, networking and collaboration across Washington’s apple, pear and cherry industries throughout the three-day event.
