Testimonials:

"The 2004 Conference was one of the most inspiring events I have ever attended in my 31-year career with Holstein Canada. Women were praised for their significant influence and impact in various agricultural sectors. Attendees laughed, listened intently, shared experiences, and interacted freely with colleagues—most of whom were new acquaintances. It was an awesome, feel-good experience!"

"The amazing amount of new networks and contacts that I made during the International Forum for Women in Dairying was absolutely awesome. Being able to attend a well organized conference with Women in the same industry as you and with the same willingness to want to learn was very enjoyable. The wealth of knowledge gained will be a huge benefit toward the future of Women in the dairy industry. I would recommend any interested women in attending."

"The International Forum for Women in Dairying is a great opportunity to step outside your own front gate and experience the way dairying happens around the world. The opportunity to promote the dairy industry and its women who make up 50 percent of the industry is a wonderful way to recognize a sometimes under resourced area. This international event is a great way to recognize women's contributions to the dairy industry across the world."
