The 2024 WCDS is March 5 - 8 in Red Deer AB
Join us at the Red Deer Resort & Casino on March 5 to 8, 2024 for the 41st annual Western Canadian Dairy Seminar. Over three and half days you will hear about current research and new technology and engage with industry leaders to discuss emerging challenges facing the industry.
With two receptions, a banquet, and ample networking opportunities in the 75 booth trade show area, WCDS is the place to reconnect with friends and colleagues and make new connections. Whether you are a dairy producer, veterinarian, dairy extension specialist, dairy service and supply representative or a budding agricultural student, WCDS has something to offer you.
