AgForce ready to “Back the Bush” this October
AgForce is eagerly awaiting the 2024 Queensland Agricultural
Industry Conference on 1-2 October.
If you’re a member of the Queensland agriculture industry
and passionate about the livelihood of our farmers and rural communities, this
is an event you won’t want to miss.
Held in Brisbane at the Royal International Convention
Centre, the event will bring together representatives from across the
agriculture and related industries, as well as government stakeholders to
discuss the future of agriculture in Queensland.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘Back the bush: Our
people, our future’, which aligns with AgForce’s broader state campaign to
garner cross-sectoral investment and support of the agriculture industry as
Queensland approaches an election later this year.
Michael Guerin, AgForce CEO, said the event will provide the
opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the key issues impacting Queensland
agriculture.
“With many significant issues occurring in Queensland
agriculture at the moment, such as land use protection and carbon and natural
capital, AgForce recognised the need to bring together industry and government
and foster critical conversations about the future of agriculture in the
state.”
“As this is an election year in Queensland, now is the time
for us to be talking about key matters impacting the industry and how we can
address them, as well as explore what opportunities are available to support
growth.”
The program is out now, with an exciting line-up of speakers
including Wayne Bennett, Lisa Millar and the Hon. Ian Macfarlane. You’ll also
have the opportunity to hear from key Queensland politicians, including Leader
of the Opposition of Queensland, Mr David Crisafulli and the Hon. Bob Katter
MP.
News reporter and Conference Dinner MC, Andrea Crothers, said
she is looking forward to the event.
“I’m thrilled to be joining you for the AgForce Queensland
Agricultural Industry Conference 2024 as your dinner MC this October where some
of the biggest players will get together to discuss the biggest issues,” she said.
Conference dinner keynote speaker, Julia Jones, said she’s
excited to be a part of the line-up.
“I’m super pumped to be heading to Brisbane in October for
the Queensland Agricultural Industry Conference. I’m going to be speaking about
how we can thrive in global chaos,” she says.
“Bring your energy, bring your curiosity. It’s over dinner –
so let’s have some fun.”
