Join us on June 19th for an important member event regarding the shifting landscape of Wisconsin’s food, beverage, and agriculture sectors. As federal policies evolve and market dynamics continue to change, many are asking what this will mean for the food and beverage industry of Wisconsin. Featuring special guest speaker Secretary Randy Romanski of member Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), this session will explore how Wisconsin food and beverage businesses can navigate market expansion, supply chain management, and international trade regulations for continued success, and what to expect through 2025 and beyond.
We’ll also hear from our host Patty Lehn, Executive Director of member Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center, on how Farm Wisconsin is promoting science and technology that have made food production and processing more efficient and engaging consumers’ curiosity about their food sources.
Following the conversation, stay for networking with industry peers – a chance to connect, share insights, and strengthen relationships with your fellow food and beverage industry professionals – and take a self-guided tour of the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center. Explore 10,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, take in a virtual tour of a local dairy farm showcasing modern sustainability practices, and, with a bit of luck, you might even witness a live calf birth in their birthing barn.
