Richard Doyle, president of the International Dairy Federation, will make a keynote address about the need for collaboration on environmental issues.
Other international perspectives will be given by the Global Dairy Platform and the Pan-American Dairy Federation. There will be market development presentations from leading dairy companies including Alpenmilch and Nöm, additional environmental insights from Elopak and Fonterra, and a look at world-leading markets by Unimilk from Russia and Vincent & Co from India.
Further sessions will focus on innovation and nutritional enhancement, with a keynote address from Arla Foods and case studies from Maximuscle, Valio and Tine. Market briefings from Zenith International round off the conference.
The plant tour this year will be hosted by Alpenmilch Salzburg, whose site on the outskirts of the city, is nearing completion of a €23m expansion and refurbishment programme.
The social highlight of the Congress will be the IDF Dairy Innovation Awards dinner to be held at the historic Residenz Palace, one of the main landmarks of the old city.
Entries for the awards close on 18 March. For more information, visit the official Dairy Innovation Awards 2010 website.
Zenith International chairman, Richard Hall, said: “We have chosen the theme ‘Packed with value’ for this year’s event to explore the many different aspects of value that dairy can offer, from premium to affordability and from convenience to functionality. Now in its fourth year, the Global Dairy Congress has established itself as a major forum for industry marketing issues and high-level networking. Salzburg’s location at the centre of Europe makes it an ideal place for this year’s gathering.”
The Global Dairy Congress is organised by industry experts Zenith International in association with Dairy Innovation magazine. Packaging supplier Elopak will again be principal sponsor, joined by other industry sponsors Bericap and Tine.
