The Adelaide Hills Convention Centre will play host to this highly regarded event, attracting delegates from SA’s Fleurieu, Barossa Mid-North, River & Lakes and South-East.

Expect to witness diverse, challenging, and innovative discussions on the stage from incredible guest speakers; including Environmental Explorer and leader Tim Jarvis who will recount his time in Antarctica and managing high performing teams, Ag Consultant Jeanette Long who will talk about balancing the management of both a family and business unit, and the team from Fat Farmers - a rural health initiative supporting farmers to be both physically and mentally fit. We’ll be hearing from young farmers, experts in the field and the professionals behind the guidelines. Prepare to be inspired by this 2024 line up:
