View World Dairy Expo 2027About World Dairy Expo
An international dairy trade show featuring dairy cattle shows, exhibits, and the latest dairy technology and equipment. Attracts over 65,000 attendees from 100 countries.
World Dairy Expo 2026
World Dairy Expo runs 29 September – 2 October 2026 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
This is the global dairy industry's meeting place — part elite cattle show, part trade show. The dairy cattle show draws top herds across the breeds to compete for Supreme Champion; the commercial side fills the grounds with milking technology, genetics, feed, animal health and the equipment of modern dairying.
For dairy producers it is the annual pilgrimage; for companies selling into dairy, there is no comparable concentration of the industry anywhere. The organiser has already published dates through 2028.
