Registration is now open for the 2026 National Holstein Convention, bringing Holstein members together June 22–25, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Florida. Convention attendees can expect an event packed with a mix of education, business, networking, and fun, all taking place at a beautiful, family-friendly resort in the Sunshine State.

“Year after year, the National Holstein Convention is where friendships are renewed, ideas are shared, and families come together around a breed we’re all proud to represent,” said Lindsey Worden, CEO of Holstein Association USA. “For 2026, we’ve introduced new, simplified registration packages based on member feedback, allowing attendees to focus on what matters most – connecting with one another and bringing valuable insights back home.”

New for 2026, convention registration has been streamlined into two all‑inclusive package options, designed to make planning easier. Registration packages include meals, educational sessions, business meetings, networking opportunities, the trade show, dairy bar, award celebrations, and more for the days attendees are registered. Pre‑convention tour tickets will be available for purchase separately.
