The 2022 SDT Annual Dinner and Symposium, sponsored by Christeyns,  will be held on Wednesday 29th June 2022 in the Members Pavilion at the Staffordshire County Showground. The Symposium will start the proceedings with 3 speakers presenting on cheese and dairy related topics during the afternoon. Arrive early to visit the trade stands, network and be treated to a delicious buffet lunch, all free of charge. 

The timing of the Dinner is perfect for anyone who is attending the International Cheese and Dairy Awards Trade Day (Thursday 30th June), the day after this event. So please come along and join in with other dairy professionals for an afternoon and evening of learning, delicious food (and wine!) and most importantly wonderful company.
