Registrations for TFGA Conference closing soon!
Tasmania’s top business conference for Tasmania’s top business, agriculture, is imminent and people have only until June 29 to register.
The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association annual conference is at Country Club Tasmania in Launceston from July 11-13.
There is a definite incentive to be there: unveiling the technology that will enable our farmers to keep ahead of the pack in farming in the next 10 years or so. If you’re not there, you’re going to have to rely on someone else explaining it to you. Not a good start. Put yourself in the driving seat.
One guest speaker, Morris Miselowski, is an Australian business futurist. He’s been to the mountain and he’s seen what there is to see, 100 years worth of change in the next decade alone.
“You can stick your head in the sand and ignore the change that is happening or you can deal with it, make it work for you,” says TFGA chief executive Jan Davis.
“The best investment you can make is to use your own eyes and ears. Come to the conference.”
Miselowski heads a star-studded cast of speakers in this Australian Year of the Farmer.
Other conference speakers include:
• Premier Lara Giddings
• Mick Keogh, executive director, Australian Farm Institute
• Jock Laurie, president, National Farmers Federation
• John Kerin, chair of the agricultural research body, the Crawford Fund
ABC Talking Heads presenter Peter Thompson will be the facilitator for the Q&A sessions.
