The Northeast Dairy Innovation Summit brings together dairy farmers, processors, and stakeholders from across an 11-state region.
Hosted by the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center (NE-DBIC), the Summit highlights the innovations being made across the dairy sector right now – and how you can apply them to your business.
The 2026 Summit will offer tracks on Dairy Farm Innovation and Modernization, Processing Modernization and Expansion, and Dairy Workforce Development.
From forage and robotics to sensory training and dairy marketing, we’ll dig into the systems and factors driving innovation on the farm and in the processing plant.
From small and mid-sized dairies and farmstead operations to large farms and processing for regional, national, and international markets, the Summit will focus on the dynamic opportunities for dairy businesses across scales.
Along with engaging workshops, you’ll have time to network, ask questions, and offer your own insights toward what’s working and what’s needed to innovate and strengthen the dairy sector.
Early-bird registration is open December 10, 2025 through January 16, 2026. Subscribe to the NE-DBIC Email Newsletter for updates.
