Women in Dairy:
Restore, Connect, Nourish
In a year recognized by the United Nations as the Year of the Woman Farmer, this gathering takes on even greater meaning - honoring the women who produce, innovate, lead, and sustain the global dairy value chain.
In Tandem with the ADPI Conference
Chicago | April 26 2026 |

Before the week begins — choose how you enter it.
Join 150 women from across the food & beverage industry for a high-impact midday experience designed to energize your body, expand your network, and ground your leadership.
Hosted by Females in Food in tandem with the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) Conference, Women in Dairy brings together movement, meaningful connection, and protein-forward nourishment in one intentional gathering.
Inspired by the dairy community and open to all women across the F&B industry, this event is for those who believe wellness and leadership are not separate conversations.
This isn’t a side event.
It’s a powerful way to show up.
Why Women in Dairy
The food and beverage industry moves fast. Conference weeks move even faster.
Women in Dairy creates space to:
- Recenter before the momentum builds
- Connect beyond transactional introductions
- Fuel your body in alignment with the industry you represent
- Engage in conversations that feel relevant, real, and energizing
Whether you’re attending ADPI or simply in Chicago, this is a moment to invest in yourself — and in the relationships that matter.
