Dane County Executive Agard Welcomes World Dairy Expo Back to Dane County
DANE COUNTY – Dane County Executive Melissa Agard today welcomed World Dairy Expo back to Dane County as farmers, exhibitors, industry leaders, students and visitors from around the world gather at the Alliant Energy Center for one of the dairy industry’s premier international events. World Dairy Expo runs September 29 through October 2 and brings together the dairy community for its renowned cattle show, trade show, educational programming and opportunities to showcase new technology and innovation across the industry. “World Dairy Expo is an important part of Dane County’s agricultural identity and an event we are incredibly proud to host,” said County Executive Agard. “For a few days each fall, Dane County becomes a global gathering place for the dairy industry. We welcome the farmers, families, exhibitors, students and visitors who make this event so special and thank them for choosing Dane County year after year.” World Dairy Expo is the largest event hosted at the Alliant Energy Center and provides a significant economic boost to the region, supporting local hotels, restaurants, businesses and the broader tourism economy. The event also provides educational opportunities for young people and connects Wisconsin’s agricultural community with research and technology from around the world. The longstanding relationship between Dane County and World Dairy Expo is especially important as the County works toward the next chapter for the Alliant Energy Center campus. “World Dairy Expo is a valued partner as we work to redevelop the Alliant Energy Center campus and position it for decades of future success,” Agard said. “Our goal is to build on what makes this campus such an important regional asset while creating new opportunities for events, economic activity and community use. World Dairy Expo is an important part of that future, and we look forward to continuing to grow our partnership.” Agard also thanked World Dairy Expo organizers, exhibitors, volunteers and Alliant Energy Center employees for the extensive work required to prepare the campus and welcome visitors from around the world. “Dane County has a proud agricultural tradition, and World Dairy Expo gives us an opportunity to share that tradition with the world while also looking toward the future of agriculture,” Agard concluded.
