The DairyNZ Farmers Forum is back with three events - in Waikato, Canterbury and Southland.

The event provides farmers the time, place and up-to-the-minute updates across the sector to support leading farmers to shape the future of dairy.

DairyNZ chief executive Campbell Parker said while it's an industry-good job to ensure the sector has a positive future with the right solutions in place for farmers, they can't do it alone.

"We are privileged to have a stellar group of experts and farmers who are doing amazing and innovative work on farm share all that knowledge and keep pushing those boundaries at Farmers Forum 2025.

"As we navigate changes in the global economy, trade, and technology, it's critical that we come together to problem-solve, plan, and prioritise for success."

The events offer attendees a unique opportunity to talk with experts and other farmers about the future of dairy farming in an increasingly complex global and national landscape.

"The world is changing fast, and so is the way we farm. Our focus at the Forum is on providing farmers with actionable insights into the global and national trends that will shape their businesses in the years to come. By collaborating with other leaders in the sector, we can ensure that New Zealand's dairy sector continues to thrive and lead on the world stage," says Campbell.

There will be a wide range of trade stands to further support collaboration across the sector. Farmers are encouraged to register now to secure a spot. Registrations are open and free for levy-paying dairy farmers and their staff. For more information, the full programme and registration, visit dairynz.co.nz/farmers-forum.
