Message from the President
Connie Tipton
Join us at the International Dairy Show, September 13-15, in Dallas and check out the latest innovations at IDFA member exhibitor booths.
The International Dairy Show is just around the corner and, based on the conversations I've had with our board members, exhibitors and others in the industry, I can tell you that the excitement for this dairy-only show certainly is building.
Our robust conference program features three dynamic Signature Sessions and a variety of educational tracks and on-floor presentations - all offering up-to-the-minute information on sustainability, consumer trends, nutrition, product development, food safety, traceability, business operations and marketing. And more than 300 exhibiting companies will be on hand to showcase the latest product and service innovations in food safety, sustainability, processing and packaging.
I encourage everyone attending the show to visit the booths of IDFA Gold Business Partners and Business Partners. These valuable industry suppliers have chosen to support both the show and IDFA by exhibiting at the International Dairy Show, and it is important to support them by visiting them on the show floor.
We recently mailed a brochure highlighting exhibiting members, their booth numbers and a description of their exhibits to all dairy company executives last week. Please take a moment to look through the brochure and discover the many companies you'll want to visit while at the show. Viewing the floor plan here will help you to plan your visits.
This is a pivotal time for the dairy industry. Let the International Dairy Show provide you with the fresh ideas, perspectives, services and technologies you need to grow your business and your bottom line.
We look forward to seeing you in Dallas, September 13-15. Visit the show website, www.dairyshow.com, for all of the details on this not-to-be-missed industry event.
