History of World Beef Expo

The first World Beef Expo was held in Madison, Wisconsin on April 16-18, 1993. Held for three years in the spring at the Dane County Coliseum, the World Beef Expo continued to expand. In 1996 the event was moved to Milwaukee and changed to a fall show to better accommodate the large event.

For the last 14 years the World Beef Expo has been held at the Wisconsin State Fair Park. The event has been a success since 1993 and continues to be one of the biggest cattle shows in the Midwest.

We look forward to seeing you at the 18th Annual World Beef Expo September 23-26, 2010!
