This Atlas is a structured view of three global conference workbooks. It is not a new verification of every source or a claim of complete worldwide coverage.

Coverage & time

Historical analysis begins in 2000. Older dated records are retained on the server for provenance but excluded from the displayed historical metrics. Canada includes source records labelled Held or Recorded; Global includes completed editions. Cancelled, unverified and unconfirmed records do not enter historical metrics. Future editions are kept separate. The original baseline dates are 14 September 2026 for Canada and 15 September 2026 for Global. Selected series were checked again in November 2026; see individual profiles. An elapsed scheduled event is not automatically treated as completed.

Conference series & editions

A series is a recurring conference brand. The Canadian collection preserves 84 event profiles from 83 worksheets, splitting the Dairy Farmers of Canada AGM and policy conference, and merging provincial future-date records into the relevant profiles. Regional exhibitions remain explicitly labelled. An edition is one dated record of that series. Unresolved years, multi-year summaries, predecessor appendices and non-edition notes are excluded. Exact duplicate edition records are suppressed.

Observed rotation

Rotation is derived from recorded physical editions since 2000. More than one country in more than one region is classified as global; more than one country in a single region as regional. One country with several cities is within-country rotation. Canadian rotation is assessed from matched Canadian host cities; foreign joint meetings remain in the edition profile. These are observed geographic patterns, not verified constitutional or bidding rules.

Attendance & comparability

Missing attendance remains unknown. Approximate figures, lower bounds, registrations, delegates, visitors, joint meetings and virtual participation retain distinct labels. Displayed bands are indicative where the underlying report is approximate. Conflicting totals are excluded from usable figures. Audiences are never summed across incompatible bases.

Future confirmation

Dates & destination means both are present and unqualified in the supplied record. Destination confirmed allows pending or qualified dates. Year announced has no reliable host destination. Tentative records stay tentative. No event is generated from an assumed cycle. Passed scheduled dates without completion evidence are “Elapsed schedule.”

Geography & maps

Coordinates are GeoNames city centroids, not venues. Natural Earth supplies the base map. City names are matched within a country; unresolved or multi-location hosts may be excluded from the map. Virtual meetings have no physical marker. Historical countries use a present-day host-country mapping where identifiable.

Agriculture taxonomy

Each series has one editorial primary domain derived from its name and supplied focus. Global uses twelve primary domains; Canada retains the seven sectors of the original Canadian Atlas. Cross-domain relevance is not counted twice. Organizers and headquarters are not invented when missing.

Frequency & return intervals

A stated frequency is used where supplied. Otherwise frequency is the median interval between distinct recorded years since 2000. Gaps and pandemic disruptions can affect this observed cadence. Return intervals use actual repeated host records, not predicted future returns.

Opportunity screening

The finder ranks recent internationally rotating series for Global and series with recorded changes of Canadian host city for Canada, where no future host destination is recorded, using destination history, reported scale and month fit. It caps the list at twelve. An absent future host is not an open bid. Venue requirements, lead times and scientific fit still require organizer research.

Access & data protection

This Atlas is publicly accessible without sign-in. Conference master records stay server-side; the browser receives aggregates and bounded profile views. Search pages show six cards, with at most five pages per query. There is no bulk export. Displayed information can still be manually copied.

Evidence status

“Source linked” means the source row contains a URL. “Supplied record” means no row-level link was provided. Neither means independently reverified during this build. Source qualifications and missing information remain visible in the selected edition profiles.

Commercial intelligence

Private relationship notes, ownership, provider intelligence and internal source administration are excluded from this public version. No attractiveness or winability scores are asserted without supporting commercial data.
