At the American Cheese Society Annual Conference, we celebrate a vibrant and growing market for world-class American-made cheeses. Our commitment to education, connection, and celebration ensures the next generation of ACS members is prepared to lead the industry into the future.

Join Us July 7-10, 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky!

Louisville’s rich quilting heritage inspires ACS 2026, reminding us that the strongest communities are stitched together piece by piece, where every patch, thread, and stitch comes together to create something bigger, brighter, and more beautiful. Just like a quilt, the cheese community is pieced together from many parts: makers, mongers, producers, retailers, and enthusiasts — all joining to create unforgettable experiences, shared learning, and celebrations of all things cheese.

We’re excited to announce that the ACS 2026 Annual Conference in Louisville, KY will feature a new conference schedule beginning on Tuesday, July 7th with Cheese Crawl and ending on Friday, July 10th with Meet the Cheesemaker! We've heard your feedback, so the overall conference timeline is changing to give attendees even more opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate.

Registration is open! View conference details below.
