Doug Williams, who passed away in January 2025, was a familiar face to those visiting Kuhn North American’s booth at Expo for 30 years. Doug served on Expo’s Commercial Exhibitor Committee for 24 years and was the Chairman of the committee, as well as a member of Expo’s Executive Committee for six years and Expo’s Board of Directors for 10 years. Always quick with a smile, a helping hand and sound business acumen, Doug’s contributions to Expo were many, and those qualities were only a fraction of why he was also honored as a Friend of Expo in 2014. World Dairy Expo is pleased to honor Doug’s memory with these awards for trade show excellence.

Serving as the meeting place of the global dairy industry, World Dairy Expo brings together the latest in dairy innovation and the best cattle in North America. The global dairy industry returns to Madison, Wis. for the 58th event, September 30th – October 3rd, 2025, when the world’s largest dairy-focused trade show, dairy and forage seminars, a world-class dairy cattle show and more will be on display.
