FarmTender2024 - Entrepreneurs in Farming event

Features include:

> No sponsors, so no commitments. Just relevant Farming topics with people in the know.

> Five separate opportunities to network and talk to people during the day.

> No Farm Tender talks, however, all of our staff will be there.

> Individuals with a business associated with Farming are welcome to attend (at extra cost), but they can bring flyers, cards, they can wear their uniform, and they will have opportunities to network with Farmers.

And what about our door prize:

Buy a ticket and attend, and you'll go into the draw to win a 4-day, all-expenses-paid Farm tour for 3 people. That's right, bring 2 of your family or friends along. I'll (Dwain Duxson) be your driver, host and chief organiser. We reckon it's valued at over $5,000, maybe more. We'll work in with the winner as to where and when you want to go. I have some ideas. I guarantee you it will be worth your while.

This is what some people thought of our last event:

One of the best conferences I have attended! Full of so much knowledge and discussion that is very beneficial to someone young developing their way through the Agricultural industry. - Matilda, Darling Downs, Qld

Brilliant, informative eye-opening event. Well worth the investment for the information shared. - Toby, North Central, Vic

Thanks to Farm Tender for this opportunity, an exceptionally well ran and organised day. The calibre of the speakers was 10/10. My wife and I left feeling very inspired. - Simon, Wimmera, Vic

A very worthwhile event on a platform that was interactive and positive and was relevant to farmers. - Wayne, Central West, NSW

Real stories and information from straight-talking industry people that were easy to understand and relate to. - Andrew, North Central, Vic

A very helpful and thought-provoking event, especially advice on succession, keeping farms in families and overcoming friction. United families are the backbone of our communities. - Ross, Central, Vic

The calibre of speakers was phenomenal. The concept of information sharing and engaging with involvement from 'boots on the ground' industry participants as opposed to sponsor-led 'information' is refreshing. Everyone in agribusiness would find this event beneficial. - Matt, South West, Vic
