2023 Dairy Blender

May 17 | 3-7 p.m.

The Aloft Hotel | Buffalo, New York

This year’s Dairy Blender will have a little of something for everyone and is a great opportunity to learn about the manufacturing process and get introduced to the management teams of our presenting NDFA companies. Registration is open to Northeast Dairy Foods, Northeast Dairy Suppliers, and New York State Cheese Manufacturers Association members.

From 3-5 p.m., you will learn about HP Hood, Lactalis American Group, Perry’s Ice Cream, and Upstate Niagara Cooperative operations. You will hear directly from their management teams on what they look for in suppliers and vendors as partners to their business. Today, being competitive takes more than a good price. Manufacturers look for much more, and understanding your prospect’s needs is critical information as you prepare to present your offer, and more importantly, prepare yourself to successfully service your prospect’s business for the long term.

Immediately following the presentations, from 5-7 p.m., our event will flow into the networking part of our Dairy Blender, where our presenters will mingle with all attendees in a very casual atmosphere, allowing you an opportunity to make new connections or build on those you already have. There will be multiple attendees from these companies, along with members of the Northeast Dairy Foods Association and New York State Cheese Manufacturers Association.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We are excited to announce we have a new look!

The NDFA and NDSA have a new logo, a new website ( ndfsa.org), and a new mailing address: 5701 E. Circle Drive, Suite 108 #277 Cicero, NY 13039.
