Horticulture Conference
Each year, HortNZ holds a conference to bring together growers and leading industry figures to celebrate the achievements of the industry, and look to what the future can hold.
The 2021 Horticulture Conference: Resilience and Recovery, to be held on 5-6 August 2021 at Mystery Creek, Hamilton.
In developing this two-day conference, we have focused on the array of challenges and opportunities currently facing our industry in the new, Covid affected world.
A diverse range of speakers will provide perspective from New Zealand and overseas, industry and government. They will offer insight as our industry looks to 2022 and beyond. Click here to see the list of speakers.
