This year’s combined Northeast Dairy Convention (NDFA, NDSA, PAMD and NYSCMA) will be held at the Landing Hotel, Rivers Casino in Schenectady, NY.
We have an agenda full of business sessions, networking opportunities and casual activities. Speakers for our business sessions are still being finalized but you can look forward to our speakers presenting priority industry topics. Our speed networking is back this year improved by holding this exciting networking event on opening night (Wednesday). Participants will have the opportunity to request who they meet with prior to the event (forms to follow soon), and we are increasing the number of meetings with longer meet times. Vendor tables are required to participate in Speed Networking. Then we will enjoy a round of golf at the Stadium Golf Club -or- a pleasant paint class hosted and instructed by our very own Howard Van Buren.
Additionally, the venue for this event is sure to please the most discerning traveler. Set on the banks of the Mohawk River, The Landing Hotel is a newer property opening in 2018 and Rivers Casino is a state casino with all the latest gaming options. A destination to enjoy with your significant other or you can use this event to reward those in your company for a job well done while they enhance their knowledge of this wonderful dairy industry and meet their industry peers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
