Grower Sponsorship Opportunity: AGIC Conference 2015
May 10, 2015
GPSA will sponsor two young grain producers to attend the Australian Grains Industry Conference (AGIC) from July 28-29 in Melbourne.
***DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 12 JUNE 2015***
We know seeding is a busy time so have extended the deadline for entries.
TWO young South Australian grain producers could win sponsorship to attend this year’s Australian Grain Industry Conference, valued at $2500 each.
The conference will be held in Melbourne from July 27-29. It is a high-level market event that brings together the Australian and global grain industry to network while providing the latest information on international grain markets.
The sponsorship is a professional development opportunity for producers under 35 to develop industry networks and contacts that could benefit their farm business and gain insight into what local and international customers want from South Australian grain.
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 Chairman Garry Hansen says the conference represents 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.
“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,” he said.
To enter:
- Applicants must be 35 or under at the time of the conference and be available to travel to Melbourne on July 27.
- 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 Grain 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 Friday, June 12, 2015. *deadline now extended*
