After much consideration and consultation with sponsors and partners we have, for the time being, took the decision to postpone the national herdspersons conference for this year. As many of you will know, our normal April dates had to be moved to July due to availability of accommodation at Harper Adams University, and whilst the new dates would normally fit between silage cuts for most, the spring and early summer weather this year has had an impact on silage making and field work with many people being unable to commit to attendance. Like many events over the next few weeks who are also reporting similar issues, we have had to consider not only the viability of going ahead but most importantly the experience of the delegates who can attend and our aim would always be to put on a vibrant conference where delegates depart not only with new knowledge and ideas, but also new friends and contacts within the sector. As a not for profit event and with many being unable to commit until very late, we feel this would be compromised and that the decision to take a pause this year is the correct one as we focus our efforts towards the future.
We will be working with speakers and sponsors over the summer with a view of bringing video presentations and content via social media platforms to get the latest thinking and ideas out to you and to maintain a presence as we evaluate the best way to deliver leading techniques, the latest knowledge, best practice and the latest innovations in herd management directly to you - the UK’s cow professionals and how to show case and celebrate the fundamental and crucial role you play in the UK dairy sector.
In the meantime there are a number of one day events coming up over the next few weeks by industry partners and colleagues and I would urge you to try to attend one of these:-
Keep an eye out for news and the content we will be making on social media and we look forward to bringing you a live event in the not too distant future!
