Registration Now Open for the 2026 Forward TogetHER National Conference

DGN is excited to officially announce that registration for our next DGN Forward TogetHER national conference is NOW OPEN! The conference will be held October 27–29, 2026 in Lexington, Kentucky. This biennial gathering brings together hundreds of dairywomen from across the country for three days of high-impact programming, leadership development and meaningful connection.

Forward TogetHER is designed to support every woman in dairy, whether she works on the farm, in a business role, in veterinary medicine, research, marketing, processing, or anywhere else within the dairy industry. The 2026 event will feature a robust agenda including general sessions, networking times, headshots, activities, breakout sessions and continued access to our popular Showcase tradeshow, a dynamic space where attendees can meet directly with partners to learn about their products while also doing a little shopping!

Forward TogetHER will also recognize the momentum surrounding women’s leadership in agriculture and will celebrate the International Year of the Woman Farmer. Our programming is being crafted to reflect the challenges and opportunities ahead, ensuring attendees walk away with not only inspiration, but also actionable tools to strengthen their farms, careers, and communities.
