Conference looks at winds of change
More than 130 of Australasia's leading agribusiness professionals are gathering in Wellington today for the annual Platinum Primary Producers (PPP) Conference.
Conference registration fees will rise by $44 after 28 February over the two-day event. Registrations close on 12 March.
The conference is the DWN's pinnacle event, and this year is being held at the ILT Stadium in Invercargill on 18-19 March.
The conference offers eight workshops and quality keynote speakers including Dame Jenny Shipley, Mai Chen, and Jacqueline Chow of Fonterra.
"Due to the nature of the workshops, the conference is open to the public as opposed to just women or dairy farmers," says DWN chief executive Zelda de Villiers.
"The workshop content is of the highest quality and will be broadly beneficial to a wide range of business people."
Conference goers are able to choose two workshops to attend each day.
The workshops on offer include:
- A Southland farm tour
- Financial success for the future (Chartered accountant Charmaine O'Shea)
- Unlock the champion within (New Zealand sports psychologist David Galbraith)
- Healthy farms for the next generation (DairyNZ leading environmental specialist Rick Pridmore)
- Tomorrow's connected communities (Farm wellness specialist Lynda Clark)
- Hands-on lameness (Collective of animal health specialists)
- Farm teams for tomorrow (Human Resources consultant Tania Gough)
- Limiting your legal liability (Southland lawyer Janet Copeland)
