“AI, GLP-1 and More: The Future of Dairy Communications” is the theme for the 2026 Global Dairy Platform (GDP) and International Milk Promotion (IMP) Communications/Marketing Conference from 11-13 May 2026 in Montreal, Canada.

- How nutrient-rich dairy products fit into the dietary changes brought on by GLP-1
- How to communicate effectively about animal care
- What global trends are affecting environmental sustainability communications
