TropAg conference organisers say the strength of Queensland science and a stellar line-up of what Professor Henry describes as inspirational keynote speakers, contributed to the success of the conference. Delegate feedback attested that TropAg was an ‘excellent conference with great presentations and opportunities for networking.’

One of the major highlights was the Gala Dinner continuing the conference theme with an all Queensland menu created by BCEC Executive Chef, David Pugh.

David Pugh, a celebrated Australian Chef known for his advocacy and support of local produce, was named as an ‘#eatqld Champion’ at the dinner by Queensland Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner.
