Now incorporating both AUSVEG and Apple and Pear Australia Limited (APAL), the Convention will run from 25-27 June and is set to attract over 1,400 local and international delegates to the Gold Coast.
“With Australia’s vegetable, potato, apple and pear industries joining forces for the first time to host the event, the additional delegates are sure to provide an added boost to the city’s economy,” said AUSVEG Manager – Events and Marketing Lauren Winterbottom.
The National Horticulture Convention is the largest event in Australian horticulture, and celebrates the achievements of the industry by bringing together growers and producers from across the industry.
Some of the biggest names in horticulture will be speaking at the event, including keynote speaker Blair Richardson, the President & CEO of the United States Potato Board, Chairman and Managing Director of Bayer Australia and New Zealand Tobias Marchand, Head of Vegetables and Specialty Crops for Syngenta Asia Pacific Andreas Steiner and Dr Luis Teixeira from DuPont Crop Protection’s Product Support and Renewal – Insecticides division.
