IaPBA One-Day Fall Conference — Saturday, November 8th, 2025
IaPBA One-Day Continuing Education Seminar
Saturday, November 8th, 2025 • Davis County Fairgrounds Building – Bloomfield, Iowa
This Saturday marks the third and final one-day IaPBA conference of the summer, wrapping up our continuing-education series before the big three-day annual conference in March.
If you can’t make it to the March event, this is the next best thing — a full day of hands-on education, discussion, and take-home ideas you can use right away. And if you are planning for March, it’s a great way to stay connected and keep learning in the meantime.
Whether you’ve been breeding for decades or are just getting started, this event has something for you — from the latest USDA inspection trends and marketing strategies to technology that supports your program and veterinary-level health insight.
Free admission and over $2,000 in door prizes throughout the day!
A big thank-you to Purina Pro Plan for sponsoring all three of this year’s one-day conferences and for their ongoing support of Iowa’s professional breeders. Their partnership helps make these educational events possible and continues to strengthen our community through shared knowledge and commitment to quality care.
