AgForce Ready To “Back Bush” This October

AgForce is eagerly awaiting the 2024 Queensland Agricultural

Industry Conference on 1-2 October.

If you’re a member of the Queensland agriculture industry

and passionate about the livelihood of our farmers and rural communities, this

is an event you won’t want to miss.

Held in Brisbane at the Royal International Convention

Centre, the event will bring together representatives from across the

agriculture and related industries, as well as government stakeholders to

discuss the future of agriculture in Queensland.   

The theme of this year’s event is ‘Back the bush: Our

people, our future’, which aligns with AgForce’s broader state campaign to

garner cross-sectoral investment and support of the agriculture industry as

Queensland approaches an election later this year.

Michael Guerin, AgForce CEO, said the event will provide the

opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the key issues impacting Queensland

agriculture.  

“With many significant issues occurring in Queensland

agriculture at the moment, such as land use protection and carbon and natural

capital, AgForce recognised the need to bring together industry and government

and foster critical conversations about the future of agriculture in the

state.”

“As this is an election year in Queensland, now is the time

for us to be talking about key matters impacting the industry and how we can

address them, as well as explore what opportunities are available to support

growth.”  

The program is out now, with an exciting line-up of speakers

including Wayne Bennett, Lisa Millar and the Hon. Ian Macfarlane. You’ll also

have the opportunity to hear from key Queensland politicians, including Leader

of the Opposition of Queensland, Mr David Crisafulli and the Hon. Bob Katter

MP.

News reporter and Conference Dinner MC, Andrea Crothers, said

she is looking forward to the event.

“I’m thrilled to be joining you for the AgForce Queensland

Agricultural Industry Conference 2024 as your dinner MC this October where some

of the biggest players will get together to discuss the biggest issues,” she said.

Conference dinner keynote speaker, Julia Jones, said she’s

excited to be a part of the line-up.

“I’m super pumped to be heading to Brisbane in October for

the Queensland Agricultural Industry Conference. I’m going to be speaking about

how we can thrive in global chaos,” she says.

“Bring your energy, bring your curiosity. It’s over dinner –

so let’s have some fun.”
