Cutting-edge scientific developments and business opportunities and challenges were all on the menu at the eighth International Whey Conference, held Sept. 17-20 in Chicago. The event attracted more than 600 attendees from 30 countries, about one-third of whom traveled from outside the United States, according to the host, the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI), Elmhurst, Ill.
The conference enjoyed strong participation from whey company CEOs and other senior executives, a group of whom kicked off the conference to set the stage and then returned for a wrap-up “where do we go from here” session, said David Thomas, CEO of ADPI.
