One of the rites of spring for cheesemakers is attending a conference in Wisconsin, and the 2005 Wisconsin Cheese Industry Conference is right around the corner.
By several measures, the show will be the largest since the format was created in 1995, says John Umhoefer, exec. Dir. of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Assn., (WCMA) one of the two event organizers.
"We will have more tabletop exhibits than we've ever had, we've added another track of seminars, so that we now have 3 concurrent seminars, and we are anticipating more than 1,000 people in attendance, so we could set a record."
