(Washington, D.C.-April 4, 2011) The 2011 International Dairy Show is offering on-floor meeting rooms exclusively for exhibitors and association members attending the show, September 19-21, at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. Located on the perimeter of the show floor, these rooms will offer a private space for holding meetings, giving presentations and conducting contract discussions.

"Whether you want to discuss business strategies with your team, host a corporate meeting or a customer reception, purchasing one of these rooms is a great way to save time and money," said Robin Cornelison, IDFA trade show director. "This service is just one more way the International Dairy Show can help exhibiting and member companies achieve their business goals and connect with current and future customers."

The meeting rooms are 12 feet by 15 feet, have a lockable door and can seat six people comfortably. Companies that need a larger room can request a customized space to meet their needs. Meeting rooms come fully equipped with a company identification sign, carpet, conference table, chairs and wastebasket. Audio visual equipment, telephone, Internet and catering services are also available at additional cost. Rooms can be purchased for the duration of the show or for individual days.

The early bird registration deadline for the International Dairy Show is less than two weeks away. Attendees have until April 15 to take advantage of reduced registration rates and to secure their places at this must-attend event for dairy industry professionals.

The 2011 International Dairy Show, presented by the International Dairy Foods Association, will feature the newest innovations in food safety, technology, packaging, ingredients and services for dairy foods processors. Educational sessions will offer solutions that span the entire manufacturing process, and attendees will have the opportunity to visit exhibits displaying everything dairy companies need to run more efficiently, create new products and improve profitability.
