American Dairy Goat Association Annual Convention

What happens at ADGA Annual Convention?

The ADGA Annual Convention serves as both the yearly convention for the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) and the ADGA Annual Meeting. It is held each October or November and the location is determined one to two years in advance by ADGA Annual Meeting Long Range Committee.

The Convention is open to both ADGA Members and non-members alike. The majority of the convention is very applicable to anyone interested in the dairy goat industry and dairy goat products. The week is filled with educational programming, the ADGA Board of Directors Annual Meeting, social events, our ADGA Youth program, and the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners programming. It also includes our annual Cheese, Dairy Goat Products and Art Competitions.

The Convention attracts on average 500 dairy goat enthusiasts from across the United States and internationally. It also attracts members of the media, agricultural dignitaries, and politicians.
