Pasture Summit: You must be joking
Attendees at the inaugural Pasture Summit in Hamilton this week should ask one pointed question to the organisers: which joker thought it a good idea to charge journalists a registration fee?
“It’s our first time running the event and we have high startup costs and tight budgets so we can’t offer discounts or free media passes unfortunately,” organisers are telling journalists.
With an array of top agribusinesses – who value journalists and their participation – it’s still not too late for a rethink.
On social media the organisers have been copping flak for their “short-sighted” decision.
