Since its inception, the IBF has organized world buffalo congresses every three to four years in different regions of the world, including:

Through these congresses and its ongoing activities, the IBF has grown into a respected global network of scientists, breeders, and industry professionals dedicated to the advancement of the buffalo sector.
