Trade Exhibition = personalised expert advice and information for your business
“It was great having the exhibitors here: it’s so much better to talk in person.”
When it comes to sharing information, Australian olive producers love getting together and talking face-to-face. That’s no doubt why the AOA National Olive Industry Conference & Exhibition has seen increased attendance by both delegates and industry service providers over recent years. And given this year’s event theme of Productivity and profitability, the Trade Exhibition is even more relevant than ever.
The annual Trade Exhibition is an integral element of the National Conference event, providing an opportunity to showcase the latest technology, equipment and services available to the industry.
The participation of specialist industry service providers provides an unequalled opportunity to discuss your individual business needs face-to-face and one-on-one with experts in their respective fields, all in the one place.
Along with information on the latest industry-specific products and services, the Trade Exhibition is a chance to discover new ways to improve and enhance your grove and business practices. We all get stuck in our ways and there may be a better method, or new equipment, which can increase your efficiencies. The Exhibition is where you’ll find out about them, along with personalised information about their use in your operation. And all that equals increased Productivity and profitability for your business!
2025 Trade Exhibition expanded due to demand
Interest in Sponsor and Exhibitor opportunities for this year’s National Olive Industry Conference & Trade Exhibition has exceeded expectations, with all original booth spaces booked by July and ongoing enquiries from other industry providers. The additional demand has therefore led the organisers to expand the trade exhibition space, providing the opportunity for an even greater mix of industry providers to participate.
“We were fully subscribed last year as well, which was the first time that’s happened for many years,” AOA CEO Michael Southan said.
“Delegates have told us they’re keen to meet directly with more providers, so rather than turn away businesses this year, we pre-arranged flexibility around the space available for the Exhibition.
“And it’s great that we’ve had to utilise it, particularly so early. It clearly demonstrates the uplift in confidence in the industry, and reflects the current growing business interest in olives and olive oil production.”
The exhibition space will be directly adjacent to the conference plenary space, and all morning teas, lunches and afternoon teas will be served within the area, so there’ll be plenty of time to speak with the exhibitors throughout the two days. So don’t miss the opportunity: grab a coffee and some food, and head over to the booths to take advantage of the expert advice on offer.
