(Washington, D.C. - February 22, 2011) Registration is now open for attendees and exhibitors of the 2011 International Dairy Show scheduled to take place September 19-21 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. There are two ways to register: 1) visit www.dairyshow.com and click on the register button or 2) download a registration form to be mailed or faxed.
"Attendees and exhibitors can find everything they need-registration rates, important deadlines, hotel rates and maps, ticketed event information, on-site registration details and accessibility options-on the website," said Robin Cornelison, IDFA trade show director.
The International Dairy Show, presented by the International Dairy Foods Association, is offering new registration packages with reduced rates. The new registration structure will still allow attendees to purchase an all-inclusive package with access to the exhibit floor and educational sessions, but there will also be a new a la carte option that will give attendees more flexibility.
Registration categories include processors and bottlers, non-exhibiting suppliers, academic and government representatives, and exhibitors.
Registration options include:
- Platinum Pass Customer Invitation program will allow exhibitors to set up a unique code to offer an unlimited number of complimentary exhibit-floor-only passes to their current and prospective qualified processor customers.
- Exhibit-floor-only passes for a reduced rate.
- Reduced registration fee for processors who want to attend the educational sessions and visit the exhibit floor, including the opening reception.
- Additional early-bird discount of up to $150 for those who register early.
- Registration will continue to be free to students and members of the press.
"The new registration structure and early-bird and advanced discounts give attendees and exhibitors the ability to maximize their investment," said Cornelison. "By offering several options, the Dairy Show can be customized to meet each registrant's needs."
