Overview
April 8 & April 13 – 14, 2021
IDFA’s Yogurt & Cultured Innovation Conference is a dynamic, information-rich meeting focused exclusively on the information that yogurt and cultured dairy product professionals need. Learn about the most recent developments in the category and be inspired by new ideas as you network with industry peers and respected experts. Find out what’s new in ingredients, cultures, processing technology and packaging.
In light of on-going developments with COVID-19 and after thoughtful consideration, IDFA has decided to move the 2021 Ice Cream Technology and Yogurt & Cultured Innovation conferences to a fully online, virtual experience. We believe this is the safest approach for the well-being of our audience and we are excited that a virtual event makes it possible to broaden the learning opportunities and engagement with the industry at this time.
Who Should Attend?
All professionals in the yogurt and cultured dairy products field — including executives, marketers, plant operations, research and development, and quality assurance staff — will gain new insights, ideas and solutions by attending the conference. Suppliers to the industry are also encouraged to attend.
