National Bison Association Winter Conference
About the Conference
The Winter Conference is the largest bison get-together of the year for bison stewards. It is a meeting place bringing together farmers, ranchers, processors, marketers, conservationists, academia, and the public sector to learn from expert speakers, share challenges and successes, and forge and strengthen partnerships which help all of us restore, sustain, and grow the bison we love.
Registration
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED – Opening in September 2025
Thirty years ago, the first National Bison Association Conference was held, celebrating the heritage, understanding the needs, and planning for a sustainable future. Since then, bison herds have swelled to over 400,000 across North America! Now, more than ever, cooperation between all bison stewards is essential to supporting continued herd health, growth, and establishment. The 2026 Winter Conference offers actionable insights from world-class experts, on-the-ground perspectives from bison stewards and valuable networking opportunities.
