The Society of Dairy Technology (SASDT) invites you to the SASDT Symposium 2025, a key event focused on exploring innovation in dairy production under the theme: “More for Less: Enhancing Value and Efficiency in Dairy.”

This year’s symposium will tackle timely topics such as the future of dairy innovation, and overcoming production and processing challenges in the face of limited global resources. Experts will present advancements in value engineering, membrane technologies, and environmental monitoring, showcasing how data can drive predictive and sustainable practices. The programme will also delve into the role of fermented dairy in gut health and microbiome wellness, bio-solutions, and innovative and sustainable packaging.

A highlight of the event will be the sensory experience, featuring award-winning cheeses from the Qualité Awards, paired with local wines and produce. Delegates will have ample opportunities to network with colleagues, fostering meaningful and lasting connections.

Attendees can also engage with the Innovation Showcase, where producers, processors, and suppliers will display cutting-edge practices. This digital showcase aims to celebrate the South African dairy sector’s contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Be part of this exciting gathering as we connect with local and global experts, explore transformative ideas, and shape the future of dairy innovation and sustainability.

We look forward to welcoming you!
