VFF president Emma Germano said the inaugural event in Melbourne would be an unmissable opportunity to hear from industry thought leaders and meet hundreds of Victorian farmers.
“It promises to be a unique gathering to learn and hear from industry leaders and farmers from across Victoria on not only the biggest issues facing our industry, but also what lies ahead for farmers and some of the exciting innovations on the horizon,” Ms Germano said.
“From supply-chain delays, food security concerns, biosecurity, climate change and what’s ahead in agriculture technology, there’s something for everyone, no matter what you farm.”
The event, to be held at the Sofitel on Collins, will be hosted by broadcasters Gorgi Coghlan and Tommy Little and features a host of other guest speakers.
They include 7News Melbourne weather presenter and meteorologist Jane Bunn, ‘Lambassador’ Sam Kekovich, Australian Food and Grocery Council chief executive officer Tanya Barden, Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre director Richard Eckard and Nutrien Ag Solutions managing director Rob Clayton.
The 2022 VFF Symposium will be held on October 13 and 14.
It features a social function (Thursday, October 13) and the symposium plus dinner (Friday, October 14).
