The panel
Five questions, one panel
An MC takes the five things the industry keeps arguing about to a single panel, with questions from the floor throughout. No lecterns, no slide decks.

Who it’s for
Relevant to
150 to 200 senior guests, invited by name. Leadership, commercial and category teams, buyers and international visitors shaping dairy's commercial direction.
About the evening
One evening for the people who set dairy's commercial direction. Producers, processors and buyers in the same room, working out what happens next.
Cork closes in March with the commercial question: who captures the premium, and how value gets shared back down the chain. London picks up where that left off. Both forums run under one theme, More from Milk.
Expect frank market reading, introductions made on purpose, and the conversations that turn months of searching into a handful of the right relationships.

Cheddar rises 9% in a month and still trails the milk price
Mild Cheddar rose 9% in September, taking a litre made into Cheddar and whey to 39.08 pence and putting cheese back above butter and powder at the factory gate, but the October milk price rises were announced weeks before that figure was published, and AHDB says Cheddar prices remain too low to cover them.
