Come and join us for a great weekend of fun, food and laughs. Friday night will see us catch up with old friends at the Cocktail event. Saturday morning will see us meet for the annual meeting before the official opening of the Conference. The Conference will kick off with an interactive demonstration on the latest digital imagery used in objectively evaluating carcass performance and grading from our key note speaker - Prof. Keigo Kuchida (Obihiro University, JAPAN)
The afternoon session will see us get down to the serious business of presenting the proposed certification model. This will provide an opportunity for key stakeholders and industry entities to express their views on this model and the market impact it would have on Australia's premium beef product.
A common message from these discussions would be highlighting the need that, breed associations must be more pro-active and engaged with their respective industry if, what they promote, is to have a dominance, integrity and future in the market place, both here and abroad!
The Saturday Gala Dinner will be action packed with great food and wine, charity auction for the RFDS and a surprise or two that shouldn't be missed!
On Sunday we will hold a forum on the proposed scheme. This will provide an opprtunity for invited stakeholders of the Wagyu Industry to express their views/opinions on the model and conclude with an open discussion.
A casual BBQ lunch to close the weekend festivities will be provided at Rydges Lakeside overlooking the magnificant Lake Burley Griffin.
