Agriculture Victoria senior specialist Lyndon Kubeil said this was the first time since 2019 that the two conferences would be held together and in the new location of Ballarat.
“We are holding everything under the one roof this year — the sheep and the beef industry conferences, the dinner and the trade displays will all be at The Goods Shed, an exciting new venue near Ballarat Railway Station,” Mr Kubeil said.
The event will start on Wednesday, June 19 at 9 am with registrations for the BestWool/BestLamb conference, followed by a combined dinner for the beef and sheep industries at 6pm that night.
The BetterBeef conference will be held the following day on Thursday, June 20.
The program will include keynote addresses and concurrent sessions, giving participants the ability to tailor their time to suit their needs and interests.
Mr Kubeil said there will be an excellent line-up of presenters, including agribusiness professionals John Francis from Agrista and Cam Nicholson from Nicon Rural Services, who are presenting on both days and are sure to draw a crowd.
“John Francis’ session Thriving under pressure — are you ready for the next challenge? will help producers make more informed decisions when faced with obstacles impacting their farm business,” he said
“Cam Nicholson’s presentation on Grazing Management — balancing the compromise will show us how to make better decisions and find the right strategic balance between the plant and the animal in a grazing enterprise.”
Ticket sales will be capped this year to accommodate the size of the new venue.
