The Congress is expected to attract between 1000 and 1500 participants from the industry. Under the auspices of Avocados Australia and the local organising committee, we will offer the participants the perfect experience to catch up with old friends, maintain industry contacts, establish new relationships and get to know a country that is usually hidden away by distance.
