“Future ready almonds” is the theme for the 2024 Australian Almond Conference in Adelaide from October 2-4.
The event will showcase the challenges and opportunities the industry faces and feature some of the most astute almond minds in the world.
There will subject matter for growers big and small.
The conference returns to the Adelaide Convention Centre, with two presentation areas at each end of the trade exhibition area and hospitality hub.
The sponsorship prospectus is now available here.
There is no glossing over the fact that many growers and suppliers have experienced tough times since our last conference in 2022 and this year’s program will tackle issues like pollination, water efficiency, disease and pest management, dieback, new varieties and autonomous machinery.
The conference will also use the Slido app to ensure all delegates can interact with presenters and get the answers they want to their specific problems.
Despite all the challenges we have faced, Australian almonds continue emerge as a powerhouse industry that has attracted significant investment.
The ABA, in conjunction with Hort Innovation, has almost 30 research and development programs dedicated to addressing key issues on farm, doing more with less and promoting the benefits on consuming a handful of almonds every day.
On the second day of the conference, a spouses tour to the McLaren Vale winery region is planned.
For those in South Australia and New South Wales, the Wednesday-Friday fixturing of the conference leads straight into the October long weekend.
