IDFA wants to contribute to a vibrant and collaborative intellectual environment at our conferences and events by inviting speakers with a range of insights and experiences to engage with the dairy community. This policy articulates the principles and policies related to registration fees, accommodations, and airfare for industry and non-industry speakers when participating in IDFA hosted or co-hosted events.
We encourage all invited speakers to review IDFA’s mission and values, found here.
