Grower Sponsorship Opportunity: AGIC Conference 2014

May 02, 2014

GPSA will sponsor two young grain producers to attend the Australian Grains Industry Conference (AGIC) from July 28-29 in Melbourne.


AGIC is hosted by Grain Trade Australia and is the premier, industry-hosted conference for grain market participants and service providers. 

The sponsorship includes the conference registration, return airfares, travel and accommodation – all the recipients have to pay for is meals not included at the conference and travel to and from their nearest airport.

GPSA chief executive Darren Arney says each conference sponsorship is valued at $2500.

“This is a great opportunity for two of the industry’s young grain producers to gain a broader perspective of the industry’s key players and make some new contacts within the supply chain,” he said.

“GPSA wants to encourage the participation of young people in their industry and help build their skills by giving them exposure to the end users of their grain. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences with the wider grain industry through GPSA.”
 
To enter:

  • Applicants must be 35 or under at the time of the conference and be available to travel to Melbourne on July 27 for the two-day event.

  • Applicants must submit up to 400 words outlining their experiences, study or opinions on the grain industry supply chain and why they would benefit from attending the Australian Grains Industry Conference. This is very broad and could include on-farm operations, their own or tertiary-related study, or other observations of the supply chain.

  • Entries will be assessed by GPSA. The two applications that best articulate the entry question (above) will receive the conference sponsorship.

  • Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.
