2015 Paddock to Plate - National Training Conference

Welcome to the recent Training Conference edition of MINTRACKER. During the two days, Rural Skills Australia and MINTRAC took great pleasure in hosting the ‘Paddock to Plate’ conference, with an impressive array of speakers, workshops, awards and entertainment.

It seems wherever we go in industry now, that ‘whole of chain’ is a recurring phrase, and the conference provided an ideal opportunity to look at some of those key issues which affect our entire industry. The conference focused on encouraging trainers to think about extending their scope and skills, and at the same time considering key issues such as biosecurity, traceability and animal welfare. The National Training Conference provided an excellent opportunity to network, look at key international and domestic market trends, and debate some of the many issues affecting the training world.

There was a significant number of first time delegates to the conference and I took the opportunity to extend a special welcome to them and to the ‘regulars’, a welcome back, and thank you for their continued support.

No conference would be successful without its sponsors, and we are grateful for the sponsorship support of so many groups this year. In particular thanks to our Gold Sponsor, AMPC, and our silver sponsors, Kentmaster and Response Learning. All of the sponsors were listed in the program, as well as the exhibitors – thank you to you all.
