And They're Off… to Louisville!

Save the Date for the UPFDA 2027 Spring Conference | April 20–21, 2027

Get ready for a winning combination of bourbon, business, and meaningful connections as UPFDA heads to Louisville, Kentucky, for our 2027 Spring Conference on April 20–21!

We're shaking up the traditional conference schedule this year, putting networking and relationship-building front and center from the moment we arrive. We'll kick things off on Tuesday, April 20, with a full afternoon exploring Kentucky's famous bourbon distilleries. While bourbon may be the highlight of the tour, the real value comes from spending time with fellow UPFDA members and industry colleagues. This relaxed, uniquely Kentucky experience will provide the perfect setting to reconnect with old friends, build new relationships, and enjoy the camaraderie that makes UPFDA gatherings so special.

On Wednesday, April 21, we'll shift gears for a full day of engaging presentations, informative panel discussions, and valuable industry insights. Members can look forward to timely topics, fresh perspectives, and meaningful conversations about the opportunities and challenges facing our industry.

We'll wrap up our time together by giving back through a hands-on volunteer opportunity with our charitable partner, P.E.S.T Relief International. It's a fitting way to close our conference, working side by side to make a positive difference beyond our industry.

Mark your calendars for April 20–21, 2027, and plan to join us in Louisville! From bourbon country to the conference room to community service, this year's Spring Conference promises to deliver the perfect blend of professional development, personal connections, and purpose.

Stay tuned for more details on the conference agenda, accommodations, and registration. We can't wait to see you in Louisville!
