‘Growing a Healthy Australia’ 2009
AUSVEG is excited to
announce the 2009
Australian Vegetable Industry Conference, to be held in
Melbourne,
May 4-6, 2009.
AUSVEG Chairman, David Anderson said, “Next year’s theme,
‘Growing a Healthy Australia’, demonstrates the industry’s
commitment to playing its part in addressing Australia’s health
issues”.
“The conference provides an excellent way to showcase research
and development outcomes to vegetable growers and offers a
fantastic opportunity for the industry to come together and
explore future strategies to ensure our success,” David said.
Next year’s event will build on the success of the 2007
conference, which saw over 500 delegates and 36 exhibitors unite
in Sydney.
Over 80 per cent of delegates from the 2007 conference said they
would definitely attend again, with 95 per cent of delegates
rating the conference and trade show as either good or
excellent.
Similar to last year, there is a range of sponsorship and
exhibitor packages available to ensure that industry partners
can professionally demonstrate their support to the vegetable
industry and its importance to their business.
Once again, the conference welcomes participation from all
vegetable industry sectors including general vegetables, fresh
and processed potatoes, onions, organics, hydroponics and Asian
vegetables.
The 2009 conference will be held at the Melbourne Convention
Centre from Monday 4 May until Wednesday 6 May. This will be
followed by the National Vegetable Expo in Werribee from
Thursday 7 May to Friday 8 May.
“This is an extremely worthwhile occasion for the industry to
unite, share ideas, gain valuable knowledge and motivate each
other to bring future success for the vegetable industry,” David
said.
A sponsorship prospectus will be available in July 2008.
