The 20th Berner University was scheduled for April 1–2, 2024, at Gray Summit, Missouri, with host hotels in nearby Eureka and Wildwood, as part of that year's Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America National Specialty. Like other years, it offered seminars and workshops for Berner owners, breeders and handlers on health, breeding, conformation, stewardship and dog sports, taught by veterinarians, researchers, trainers and experienced club members.
The program included a Breeder Symposium, a Rescue Round Table and a European-style Sieger evaluation of dogs, alongside seminars and workshops.
