Dairy-Tech, a tailored event for the next generation of dairy farmers showcasing new technology and skills, will return to Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, in 2023.
Organised by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF), it will be held on Wednesday, February 1.
Tickets to the event, which bought before the show are priced at £17/person compared to £20 at the door, are now on sale.
Members of the RABDF receive two free complimentary tickets to the event.
Dairy-Tech 2023
The aim of Dairy-Tech is to showcase new technology and provide a platform for new product launches.
The event centres around progressive dairy professionals, regardless of their herd size or type, who strive to reflect the transformation of the sector of the years, according to organisers.
RABDF managing director, Matt Knight, said: “As we enter the new dawn of the dairy sector, it is crucial farmers are equipped with the information and skills needed to move their business forward and ride the turbulent waters ahead.
“Some change will inevitably have to happen on most farms – from an environmental point of view or for labour reasons, for example.”
Royal Dairy Innovation Award
The Royal Dairy Innovation Award for research and development in the field of dairy farming will be awarded again in 2023.
The award aims to reward the most practical and relevant product or service which is, or likely to be, the most significant innovation for the future of dairying from a company exhibiting at the 2023 Dairy-Tech event.
The award will continue to be sponsored by the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Livestock (CIEL).
Chief executive of CIEL, Lyndsay Chapman, said: “CIEL provides a front door for the dairy sector looking for science-based solutions.
“The UK dairy sector has a great track record of innovation and we’re really pleased to be supporting future dairy innovators in collaboration with the RABDF.”
Representatives from the winning company will be invited to Buckingham Palace in April 2023 to receive a signed framed certificate and trophy from the Princess Royal.
They will also receive a 10% discount (maximum of £300) on their stand booking for Dairy-Tech 2024.
