About this conference
Since 2003, the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference (GLRDC) has been dedicated to helping dairy producers learn new ways of increasing their profitability by doing more with less. The conference aims to provide an engaging forum for all sectors of the dairy industry to come together to learn, share information, and gather the latest resources to help increase profitability. Attendees can explore the future of dairy, from innovation to infrastructure, through sessions led by top researchers and industry leaders covering technology, sustainability, and market trends. The event offers expert insights, breakout sessions tailored to various roles and interests, and real-world solutions for challenges such as workforce strategies, animal welfare, and profitability tools. Networking opportunities are available for farmers, experts, and innovators. Special bilingual Herdsperson Sessions in Spanish focus on leadership, reproduction, and herd health for frontline dairy teams.
