23 Sept 2025
AgXchange Australia will unite hundreds of stakeholders from every inch of the supply chain. From farm leaders and agribusiness professionals to policymakers and global experts, more than 50 speakers will be having the tough and candid conversations.
The event will feature keynotes and panel discussions around five key pillars: innovation, sustainability, risk, farming communities and supply chain. It will also host the inaugural Debate Showdown where farmers and renowned agricultural leaders will take on the polarising question: “Do the lack of subsidies make Australian farmers more efficient, or simply more exposed?” Delegates will also be updated on progress towards the $100 billion 2030 Roadmap goal.
When: Tuesday 23 November – Thursday 25 November
Where: Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre
