Driving Dairy Forward, One Farm at a Time: Dairy Strong Returns to Green Bay in 2026
GREEN BAY — Wisconsin’s premier dairy business event, Dairy Strong, is back and officially open for registration. Set for January 14–15, 2026, at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay, the annual conference promises to unite dairy leaders, innovators, and advocates from across the Midwest to shape the future of one of the state’s most vital industries.

In a conversation with Laura Hensley of the DBA on Wisconsin’s Afternoon News, she emphasized how the conference isn’t just a gathering , it’s a catalyst for economic impact and policy innovation.
Attendees can expect a wide range of sessions, including:
- Timely political and regulatory updates
- Workshops on producer-processor collaboration
- Innovations in dairy technology and sustainability
- Leadership development tracks for all levels of the industry
In addition to general registration, applications are now open for those interested in presenting at the 2026 conference an opportunity for industry experts, academics, and innovators to share their insights with a wide-reaching audience.
