2026 Hort Connections Conference, Ginger Grower Sponsorship
About
The AgriFutures Ginger Program is sponsoring up to three ginger levy payer growers to attend the 2026 Hort Connections Conference, in Adelaide SA. The sponsorship will cover, for each grower, the conference pass, field tour, Perfection Fresh breakfast entry and Gala Dinner entry as well as return flights and 4-5 nights’ accommodation.
Hort Connections takes place from 1-4 June 2026 (with the field trips and farm tours on Monday, 1 June) at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Hort Connections is the premiere horticulture conference and trade show in Australia and New Zealand. With an extensive trade floor, insightful speaker sessions throughout the two days and historically well attended networking events, ginger growers can benefit from the connections and insights they would gain from the conference. With the conference held in Adelaide this year, ginger growers could gain valuable insights into primary production in a different climate and environment.
