Doug Williams, who passed away in January 2025, was a familiar face to those visiting Kuhn North American’s booth at World Dairy Expo for 30 years. Williams served on the World Dairy Expo’s Commercial Exhibitor Committee for 24 years and was the Chairman of the committee, as well as a member of Expo’s Executive Committee for 6 years and Expo’s Board of Directors for 10 years. Always quick with a smile, a helping hand and sound business acumen, Doug’s contributions to Expo were many, and those qualities were only a fraction of why he was also honored as a Friend of Expo in 2014. World Dairy Expo is pleased to honor Doug’s memory with these awards for trade show excellence.
This year, World Dairy Expo honored his memory with the Doug Williams Memorial Booth Award.
Every year, exhibitors compete to develop the most eye-catching, interactive and stylish booths to win awards in the following divisions: New Booth, Outdoor Booth, Showstopper Booth, Interactive Booth and Best of Show.
More than 450 companies from across the globe traveled to attend and showcase new technologies at the 2025 World Dairy Expo Trade Show. Representatives from 39 states and 15 countries visited with Expo attendees, taking advantage of the large, diverse crowd at the Alliant Energy Center, who enjoy looking through the engaging booths throughout the Trade Show.
The division award winners were presented the Doug Williams Memorial Booth Award. This award was presented on Oct, 1 by the World Dairy Expo Commercial Exhibitor Committee, World Dairy Expo Staff and the Doug Williams Family.
