EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION BROCHURE National Horticulture Convention, Trade Show and Awards for Excellence Incorporating AUSVEG and Apple & Pear Australia Ltd. Jupiters Gold Coast QLD, Australia 25-27 June 2015
Welcome It is with excitement that I welcome you to the 2015 National Horticulture Convention, Trade Show and Awards for Excellence to be held at the popular Jupiters on the Gold Coast from 25 27 June 2015. The past five years have seen continual growth for the National Horticulture Convention and industry alike, reflected by a record number of delegates in 2014 with an attendance of over 1,100. The 2015 convention is set to attract the highest attendance to date as the industry continues to move forward. The 2015 National Horticulture Convention will return to a familiar location on the Gold Coast where the program will build on favourites such as the Trade Show, Speaker Sessions and various social events while also continuing to provide insight into important industry issues. With the continued expansion of the industry, this opportunity to showcase your company to growers will be a chance that should not be overlooked. The Trade Show will expand and booths are expected to sell out quickly. I would therefore encourage you to register quickly to avoid disappointment and to ensure you maximise the potential to heighten your company s reputation. This event will certainly be the most successful industry conference in Australia and I look forward to witnessing firsthand the support demonstrated by a wide range of stakeholders in horticulture. Geoff Moar AUSVEG Chairman We are delighted to be holding a joint horticultural conference with AUSVEG in 2015. When combined, the value of apple, pear, vegetable and potato production accounts for around 45% of the horticulture industry and we hope more horticultural partners will join us to service more of the industry. Apple and pear growers will benefit from the bigger scale of the conference because a combined conference will result in a bigger trade show with more exhibitors, more high profile speakers, more visiting fresh produce importers, a grander awards night, plenty of diverse social events and there will be more delegates to interact with across the broader horticultural sector. We will also have a dedicated series of events, speakers and activities exclusively for apple and pear growers on topics of particular interest to our specialised industry. So if you ve enjoyed APAL conferences in the past you will get everything you liked about our conference before, plus a whole lot more. In the apple and pear component of the program we will ensure you get research updates from our scientific partners to help provide you with the latest ideas for orchard and pack house management. Our AGM and Key Stakeholders Roundtable will also be held at the conference. I am really looking forward to attending this year s event and to seeing all of our apple and pear growers there as well as a bigger range of people working in the apple and pear industry and servicing our growers. There will be a lot for agronomists and businesses supporting the whole supply chain so come along and join us! Dr Michele Allan Chair Apple and Pear Australia Ltd (APAL)
