The Dairy Show is the Best Blend for Your Business.
The 2013 Dairy Show will be held in Chicago, at McCormick Place, November 3-6.
Why Exhibit?
In addition to the new co-location opportunity with PROCESS EXPO, which will attract even more buyers, the show has moved to later in the fall (less conflict with other shows), and every other year, which will help decrease total exhibition costs for exhibitors.
