Wisconsin Cheese Garden Lasagna

Cheese is Wisconsin's pride and passion. When people think of cheese, they think of Wisconsin. The nation's top cheese producer, Wisconsin is home to classics such as Cheddar and Colby. Wisconsin is also America's leader in specialty and artisan cheesemaking, with more than 600 varieties, types and styles. With its rich heritage of cheesemaking excellence, it's no surprise Wisconsin wins more awards for its cheeses than any other state or country.

In-Depth Sessions

Space for some in-depth sessions is limited. Online registrants will choose their sessions when they register. If you register by mail, a session may be available the day you mail your registration, but, by the time we process your registration, it may be full. We will make every effort to accommodate your first choice. Sessions will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. All in-depth sessions will be ticketed events and you must have a ticket for a specific activity to participate in that activity.

Facility Fee

To obtain complimentary meeting rooms and function space, NEAFCS has guaranteed that our attendees will utilize a specific number of sleeping rooms. If our attendees do not utilize the guaranteed number of sleeping rooms, NEAFCS will have to pay attrition fees. In addition, a portion of each room night is rebated by the hotel to NEAFCS to help underwrite the costs of the conference. Registration fees were calculated based on NEAFCS meeting our guarantee and receiving rebates. Attendees opting to stay elsewhere will be assessed a $300 fee to offset the lost rebate revenue and hotel attrition. When making your hotel reservation, you must book your room under the NEAFCS Room Block. Each person sharing a room must appear on the hotel rooming list and pay the appropriate double, triple or quad room rate to avoid the facility fee. The facility fee is waived for local affiliate members commuting daily to the conference. Click here for hotel information.

Special Transportation Requirements

Limited shuttle service is available to / from the hotel vicinity and within the City of Portland, for anyone unable to walk short distances to offsite venues.
