Dairy producers and industry representatives from around the globe will gather in Madison, Wisconsin, when World Dairy Expo takes place September 28 – October 1.

World Dairy Expo strives to be a leader in education and new technology. This year, continuing education credits for dairy professionals, nutritionists, veterinarians and veterinary technicians can be earned by attending the World Dairy Expo Seminars. Members of American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) and the American Association of State Veterinary Boards – RACE Program (RACE) can earn one credit for each seminar they attend.

This is a great added feature for a trip they are already making,” says Liz Matzke, seminar coordinator.

There will be eight seminars held during the week, Tuesday through Saturday, in Mendota 2 meeting room located in the Exhibition Hall. Seminars are structured with a 45-minute presentation, plus time for questions and discussion.
