Welcome
Making Business Modern
Thank you for making the commitment
to come to what is to be the best NZPPI
conference yet.
Our innovation theme comes at a critical time for our industry
as plant production is on the verge of a step-change in the
availability and use of technology. Matt Dolan
NZPPI Chief Executive
This conference offers two days of inspiring demonstrations,
presentations, forums and discussions - all about increasing
productivity and profitability with use of innovative technology
and better, smarter processes.
You will hear first-hand from innovators at the cutting end of
this change. Our speakers cover the field from robotics and
genetic engineering to the latest in smart technology and nursery
equipment and modern management systems.
Industry leaders will illustrate the massive impact horticulture
is having on the primary sector and how plant producers are at
the epicentre of this change. Awareness of the importance of our
sector is rapidly growing.
There are forums for discussion and debate about current issues
and plenty of opportunity for some fun. The NZPPI conference
brings our sector together for valuable conversation with friends
and colleagues. We encourage you to enjoy your time here and to
engage in everything on offer including the NZPPI sessions on day
two.
