The Midwest Food Products Association (MWFPA) Annual Convention & Expo is a premier event designed to foster meaningful connections within the food processing industry. Attendees have the opportunity to showcase and learn about the latest technologies by engaging with exhibitors, participating in educational sessions, and networking with industry professionals and invited speakers. The event serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and business development.
Additionally, the convention aims to be the foremost recognizable legislative voice in the tri-state area—Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin—advocating for the objectives and concerns of the food and vegetable processing industry. Through active representation and lobbying before state legislatures and regulatory agencies, MWFPA strives to protect the interests of food manufacturers and promote activities that ensure the safety, quality, and nutrition of their products.
Traditionally hosted at the Kalahari Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, the convention offers a vibrant yet professional atmosphere that attendees appreciate. In 2025, the 120th MWFPA Annual Convention will return to this venue.
