GREEN BAY, Wis. — Hundreds of dedicated members of the U.S. dairy community will gather Jan. 17-18, 2018, at the Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center, in Madison, Wis., for the fourth annual Dairy Strong conference.
This past January, more than 700 people from across the country listened to dynamic speakers, engaged in panel discussions and explored educational programs that focused on a wide range of issues affecting the dairy community.
Dairy Strong organizers are working hard to build content that parallels the opportunities and challenges faced by dairy farmers today. Topics, speakers and other exciting updates will be determined and announced in the coming months.
Bud Selig will serve as the opening keynote speaker for Dairy Strong 2018. Selig is the former commissioner of Major League Baseball, a position he held for a historic 17 years. He is also the former owner of the Milwaukee Brewers and a Milwaukee native. During his tenure, Selig navigated numerous controversies in the baseball community and will call on his leadership experience to draw parallels to challenges in the dairy community.
Dairy Strong provides attendees the chance to listen to unique keynotes, participate in practical sessions and engage with the nation’s leading dairy suppliers on the trade show floor.
“Dairy Strong brings farmers and dairy professionals from diverse management philosophies together to coalesce around what’s important to our community – today and in the future,” says Mike North, president of the Dairy Business Association. “We work hard to provide content that is cutting-edge, inspiring and entertaining.”
