Co-hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) and the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, the conference is set for April 17-18 at the Alliant Energy Center.

The two-day event will include seminars, ample networking events, and its largest-ever tabletop exhibition hall, featuring the industry’s most trusted supplier partners.

“With more than 2,400 attendees, the Cheese Industry Conference is North America’s largest gathering of cheese, butter, and whey processors, and offers unmatched opportunity for connection,” said WCMA events director Judy Keller.

New in 2019, WCMA will offer its dairy processing and manufacturing members access to exhibits for just $75. This special registration offer also includes Ideas Showcase presentations, lunch, and admission to the Chr. Hansen Championship Cheese Auction evening reception.

All other attendees may take advantage of an early rate of 20 percent off now through January 21, 2019.

More than 90 percent of 2019 CIC tabletop exhibit spaces have already been claimed, and a list of exhibitors and the show floor plan are available online.

Remaining spaces will be reserved on a first-come, firstserved basis.

To register online or receive special Cheese Industry Conference rates on hotel accommodations, attendees must book through the official online housing system at CheeseConference.org.
