World Dairy Expo 2020 Cancelled
USAgNet - 06/05/2020
For the first time in its 53-year history, World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin has been cancelled. The event's Executive Committee reached this difficult decision based on the public health orders and restrictions related to COVID-19, in place and issued by
Public Health Madison & Dane County. World Dairy Expo 2020 was set to take place at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, September 29 through October 3, 2020. The annual event welcomed more than 62,000 attendees from nearly 100
countries in 2019.
The Alliant Energy Center, home to World Dairy Expo, is a county-owned facility that falls under the jurisdiction of Emergency Order #3 and Forward Dane, the phased reopening plan for Dane County. Public health officials predict Dane County may be in the
third phase of the plan when World Dairy Expo is set to occur. This phase includes a limit of 250 people at outdoor events, eliminating any possibility that World Dairy Expo, as people know it today, can take place.
Serving as the meeting place of the global dairy industry, World Dairy Expo brings together the latest in dairy innovation and the best cattle in North America. Crowds of more than 62,000 people, from nearly 100 countries, will return to Madison, Wis. for the
54th event, September 28 through October 2, 2021.
