“We also have a number of forward-thinking dairy and beef producers, who will outline how their businesses are run and present their views on how they see the future.

“There will be plenty of time for delegates to network at the Conference and catch up with other industry representatives. While there is no requirement to join the BCBC to attend, members are eligible for a discounted attendance fee.”
