Being the premier destination for Australian horticulture means that Hort Connections 2018 will play host to thousands of delegates from the entire fresh produce and floral sector – from growers and seed producers to freight companies and retailers, as well as countless members of every other link in the supply chain.

By attending Hort Connections in Brisbane, you’ll be putting yourself in the centre of the biggest networking opportunity in our sector, and there’s a great spread of events designed for you to make the links that can help you grow your business or give you a fresh perspective on how you operate.

The three-day program kicks off with the official Welcome Reception and Trade Show Opening on Monday 18 June, where you can walk the floor of the massive Trade Show sponsored by FMA/CMAA representing Australia’s fresh produce markets and take advantage of the business opportunities on offer.

Over the following days, there’ll be a range of events set up so you can network with industry members from around the country – like the Trade Show Happy Hour on Tuesday 19 June, the Women in Horticulture post-event networking on Wednesday 20 June, and the breakfast sessions hosted by Perfection Fresh and Syngenta on both mornings of the conference.

Of course, the centrepiece of the networking calendar at Hort Connections 2018 is the Gala Dinner, sponsored by OneHarvest. After enjoying the pre-dinner drinks put on by the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, you’ll be able to sit down to a three-course meal at a table of old (or new) friends.

To put yourself in a prime position to meet new leads from across the entire supply chain, make social connections across the sector and grow your industry networks, register for Hort Connections 2018 now!
