The DIN Annual Conference

Events Overview

Lucy Claire Events has proudly partnered with the Dairy Industry Newsletter (DIN) to deliver their annual conference since 2022 — with planning already underway for 2026. Each year, the event brings together dairy farmers, industry professionals, and journalists for two days of discussion, learning, and connection.

The conference takes place every May and follows a familiar, well-structured format. Delegates arrive on Thursday afternoon for registration at 1.30pm, followed by an afternoon conference and an evening of predinner drinks and hosted dinner. The conference continued on Friday morning until lunchtime. The conference features 10–12 speakers from around the world, each contributing to a shared theme that changes annually. The event concludes on Friday after an optional buffet lunch, giving attendees time to network before departing.‑structured format.

What our Client said

I was referred to Lucy early in 2022 as someone who could assist in the organisation of our annual company conference, which has a global reach. This was at a time of considerable challenge post-Covid and following the death of our managing director and sudden retirement on the grounds of illness of our administrator. Despite never having worked in our particular business arena, Lucy seized the reins and delivered first-class organisation and a successful event a few months later. Four years later, she continues to do so and is an invaluable driving force. She is a delight to work with — helpful, proactive, well-organised and efficient. She has become a popular point of contact for both speakers and attendees, many of whom return year after year. Lucy also steers the event itself with good grace and a light but firm touch, which encourages good relations with the venue as well as delegates. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any event
