SDT Summer Symposium and Annual Dinner

The 2024 SDT Annual Dinner and Symposium, sponsored by , will be held on Wednesday 26th June in the Members Pavilion at the Staffordshire County Showground. The free-to-attend Symposium will start the proceedings with 4 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, sponsored by Faedah Solutions. 

The timing of the Dinner is perfect for anyone who is attending the International Cheese and Dairy Awards Trade Day (Thursday 27th June), the day after this event. It is also our 80th Anniversary year so a very special event for the Society this year. So please come along and join in with other dairy professionals for an afternoon and evening of learning, networking opportunities, delicious food (and wine!) and most importantly wonderful company.
