2025 Dairy Symposium and Annual Meeting
Grand Geneva Resort
July 14th and 15th
WDPA Annual Meeting & Summer Symposium
July 14–15, 2025 • Grand Geneva Resort, Lake Geneva, WI
Join us for this year’s meeting where processors, suppliers, and industry leaders gather for two days of networking, collaboration, insight, and inspiration—all focused on strengthening Wisconsin’s dairy future.
Our theme this year is Dairy Leadership 2025: Advancing Culture, Safeguarding Standards, Leading Change. With expert panels on food safety, workforce leadership, and genetic dairy innovation, this event will equip you with the tools to lead confidently into tomorrow.
Featured sessions include:
- Protecting the Brand: Food Safety & Vendor Management
A powerhouse panel featuring leaders from Mars Wrigley, Marathon Cheese, and Kwik Trip discussing how to build a culture of food safety, manage vendor risk, and protect brand equity in a complex marketplace. - Values-Driven Culture as a Competitive Advantage
Led by nationally recognized leadership expert Dr. Fred Johnson of InitiativeOne, this session dives into how trust, values, and clear communication can transform your organizational culture—and your bottom line. - Regulatory and Quality Assurance Trends
Hear from seasoned experts on what regulatory shifts are on the horizon and how quality assurance programs are evolving to meet them head-on. - Advancements in Dairy Genetics & Herd Stability
Explore cutting-edge innovations in genetics and their long-term impact on herd performance, sustainability, and the broader Wisconsin dairy ecosystem.
