It’s Convention Time

 

The Dairy Products Institute of Texas and Chairman Rodney Gutierrez of Continental Dairy Facilities invite you to join us at our 80th Annual Convention April 26-28, 2024 at the Overton Hotel & Conference Center in Lubbock, TX.

 

Where Red Raider Spirit Meets West Texas Hospitality

Conveniently located just steps from Texas Tech University, the Overton Hotel & Conference Center exudes the rich heritage and friendly, unpretentious attitude of West Texas. Our artfully designed spaces are fresh and modern, with just enough Lone Star sass to keep scholars, students and Red Raider fans ready for whatever comes next.
