The International Dairy Federation (IDF) Mastitis and Milking Technology Joint Conference 2026 successfully took place from 11-13 March 2026 at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre, bringing together more than 250 researchers, veterinarians, industry experts and dairy professionals from around the world.
The conference fostered strong scientific exchange and collaboration with participation from early‑career and experienced experts alike, with a clear focus on advancing udder health, mastitis management and future‑ready milking systems. Participants engaged in keynote lectures, parallel scientific sessions, poster presentations, technical exhibitions and farm visits, highlighting both cutting‑edge research and practical solutions for sustainable dairy production.
The positive atmosphere and high level of engagement demonstrated the strength of the global mastitis and milking technology community. FIL-IDF looks forward to building on these exchanges in future events, including the next IDF World Dairy Summit, and with the hope of welcoming participants again for a future edition of the conference, planned for 2029.
