Farmers invited to attend AgSmart Victoria 2023
Agricultural technology is advancing at an astonishing rate and to help keep our leading primary producers abreast of the very latest developments and innovations, ACM Rural Events will host a special two-day event at Bendigo, Victoria, on 7 and 8 September 2023.
The AgSmart Expo is one of very few opportunities to experience a national agtech focussed event staged in regional Australia.
Visitors will be able to see the latest developments in artificial intelligence, as well as learn about new technology in farming applications, farm machinery and equipment.
They’ll also be able to speak directly to exhibitors, ranging from the world’s leading machinery manufacturers to new agtech startups.
ACM Rural Events has a wealth of experience coordinating some of Australia’s biggest field days including AgQuip in NSW and FarmFest in Qld and general manager Kate Nugent said staging an event around agtech was exciting.
“Bringing and selling agri-tech products and services to country people and creating an opportunity for agtech companies to show and talk with the people on the land, in a rural setting, is something that this sector has really been missing,” Ms Nugent said.
Agtech is predicted to become Australia’s next $100 billion industry by 2030 and Ms Nugent said creating an opportunity to explore what’s on offer was hugely important.
“What we know is that digital aspects of agriculture technologies can be daunting for farmers and growers - it can be difficult to know where to start,” she said.
“Our event includes a schedule of live demonstrations, seminars and a special Regional Angels ‘Pitch to Paddock; focus on the biggest innovations in agtech, to give our visitors real opportunities to engage and learn.”
Ms Nugent said the event aimed to bring together farmers, landholders, pastoralists and the agricultural industry.
“This event has attracted a number of national agricultural companies, agtech startups and leading industry and government organisations who are keen to enlighten and excite primary producers about key agtech trends, new machinery and equipment innovations, research and education,” she said.
“Australian agriculture is on the move and AgSmart will place a spotlight on ground-breaking, game-changing new technology and innovation that can bring value to the farm and to our farming families - in terms of ease, productivity, response to change and profit.”
AgSmart is Australia's premier primary industry agtech and innovation exposition. It is an indoor in-person event held at the Bendigo Exhibition Centre, Bendigo, Victoria. It will be staged across two days, Thursday and Friday, 7-8 September, 2023. Open 9am daily. Tickets are available online (www.agsmartexpo.com.au).
