Dairy Innovators’ Forum 2013

Andrew Tyler - Chair, Dairy Innovators' Forum 2013

Forum 2013" It is with pleasure that I accept the privilege of chairing the program committee for the Dairy Innovators’ Forum, 2013. The ADC board’s decision to head north to (mostly) sunny Queensland will provide the Australian dairy industry an opportunity to combine business with pleasure.

Our venue selection is a deliberate contrast to our 2012 event. Delegates to the Innovators’ Forum will enjoy the stunning surrounds of Twin Waters Resort, and the added benefit of on-site, convenient family-friendly accommodation for those who decide to combine a family holiday with the business of the dairy conference. Attendance at this event will undoubtedly get the ‘family vote’!

The philosophy of the Dairy Innovators’ is that it offers a chance to work on your business, while being off the farm. My biggest challenge as programming chair, will be to design a program that has the capacity to challenge, motivate and connect. The ADC brand has a loyal following – and those people attend our events with a high expectation that they will be impressed, entertained and indeed challenged to think differently. Amassing a team of speakers with the experience and intellect to ensure we achieve that, is our focus.

We plan to convene mini tours either side of the conference dates, so that those travelling to QLD can optimise the opportunity to get an insight into the local dairy industry.

For those intending to take advantage of this opportunity, we recommend the following itinerary;

Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities will open for the 2013 event in June, while the program will be released to coincide with the opening of registrations, in November.

I look forward to meeting with the innovators of the Australian dairy industry and no doubt, many international guests, in Queensland in February.
