The Horticulture Conference Week 2023 has ended
Thank you to everyone that joined us this year, we hope to see you again in 2024.
Haere Mai, Welcome!
Join us for our Conference Week, 31 July to 4 August 2023 at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.
Three conference programmes – the Horticulture conference, the New Zealand Apples and Pears conference and the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) conference – will merge into one week of industry-centric presentations, speakers and content. The Horticulture conference programme includes a day of breakout sessions run by vegetable product groups, Vegetables NZ, Process Vegetables NZ, Tomatoes NZ and Onions NZ, as well as sessions run by Strawberries NZ and A Lighter Touch.
The Horticulture Conference Week 2023 will focus on providing a platform for our industry to share its stories, ideas and inspiration. The rationale was to combine the three programmes for more impact. We can’t wait to share more with you soon.
