World Dairy Summit:

• The World Dairy Summit is being held in Chicago, Illinois, and brings together more than 1000 participants from dozens of countries. 
• This is the first time in the U.S since 1993, providing the U.S. dairy industry a prime opportunity to showcase the nation’s excellent dairy farming and manufacturing practices, while allowing guests to sample high-quality American dairy products.
• The Oct. 16-20 program will feature global and industry leaders, dairy experts, scientists, technical specialists, farmers and more, focusing on the most significant issues facing the global dairy sector today and tomorrow.
• We have several team members involved in the planning and we will be showcasing Wisconsin dairy products throughout the summit as well as working with key partners (DATCP) to include Wisconsin dairy within their tradeshow booths.
• Wisconsin is also included as one of 4 state tours. During the tour we will highlight Wisconsin’s multi-generational dairy farmers and processors working together to create innovative and nutritious foods, engineering new technology, and enhancing sustainability efforts. (Tour stops include Larsen Acres and Hinchley Farms, Klondike Cheese, ABS Global and CDR - topped off with an evening event).
