Presented by the International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC) under the organization of the California Dairy Research Foundation (CDRF), the symposium gathers international experts in nutrition, genomics, bioinformatics and milk to address the status of milk-specific genomic research. Members of the IMGC also meet each year to review ongoing research priorities and set future meeting agendas.

The symposium is presented by IMGC sponsoring members: CDRF, CNIEL, DairyAustralia, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Dutch Dairy Association, National Dairy Council and Teagasc. Event sponsors include the International Dairy Federation, National Dairy Council and the U.S. Dairy Export Council.

The IMGC is a partnership of companies and academic organizations with the goals of leveraging existing resources for the assembly of genetic instructions for milk molecules, linking the scientific community for better understanding of the biological values of milk, creating tools for an interactive, Web data exchange, coordination of pre-competitive research to develop baseline data, and providing a foundation for the development of exclusive/competitive research. The IMGC Web Portal is available at www.milkgenomics.org.
