The 2026 Kentucky Dairy Conference is scheduled to take place February 24 and 25 at the Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This annual event brings together dairy professionals, industry partners and educational organizations for two days of learning, collaboration, and new ideas. The conference continues to be an important gathering for people involved in dairy production, research, and support services.
The conference is organized by the Kentucky Dairy Development Council, the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and The Dairy Alliance. These groups work together to create a program that strengthens the dairy sector while offering helpful tools and information for attendees.
Throughout the two-day event, participants will have access to educational sessions, industry updates, and networking opportunities. While the full agenda will be released soon, attendees can expect discussions on herd management, dairy markets, sustainability practices, nutrition, technology and new resources available to the dairy community. Exhibitors and industry partners will also be present to showcase products, services and innovations that support dairy operations.
Registration for the event is available online, along with both registration options for businesses and organizations wishing to participate in the conference trade area. Attendee registration forms and registration forms are posted on the event page to make sign-up easy for everyone. As organizers noted, “Registration for the 2026 conference is now open,” encouraging participants to secure their place early.
The Sloan Convention Center provides a comfortable and accessible location for the conference. Its central setting in Bowling Green makes it a convenient meeting point for attendees from across the Commonwealth.

The Kentucky Dairy Conference remains committed to supporting the dairy sector by offering updated information and resources each year. The 2026 event continues that mission by bringing together knowledgeable speakers, industry partners, and educational institutions.
