Scheduled for March 11 to 13, 2024 in Reno, Nevada, this two-day event will bring industry and academia together and showcase the research and technology driving the cheese and dairy ingredients industry.

As members continue to be sensitive to travel and budget constraints, ADPI created this new event to allow attendees the opportunity to gather at one event to discuss both the latest research and learn about the technology development shaping the future for cheese, milk and whey ingredients in one location.

Attendees will experience the latest in dairy innovation and equipment brought to them through a robust program that will showcase the latest research on emerging technologies, advances in sustainability, biotechnology, data science, health and wellness and applications related to dairy ingredients and cheese.

Exhibit opportunities are available and will allow exhibitors the ability to connect with key manufacturers for are looking for key innovation, services and solutions to grow their business.

This event will also feature great opportunities for future dairy innovators with the inclusion of a student research competition, allowing students to meet and exchange ideas with industry professionals. This competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students to submit abstracts for poster presentations in which three applicants will then be invited to make an oral presentation in addition to their poster presentation during the event. The call for abstracts is currently active and available online.

 In addition to the morning plenary sessions, the Summit will feature afternoon concurrent cheese and dairy ingredient technology sessions allowing participants the opportunity to select their areas of interest and tailor their Summit experience.
