Industry body Ausveg and Apple & Pear Australia (Apal) have announced they will jointly host the 2015 National Horticulture Convention on Australia’s Gold Coast.

The event builds on the success of the 2014 Ausveg National Convention, which saw more than 1,100 local and international delegates head to Cairns in northern Australia.

“This partnership will ensure that an even wider spectrum of commodities are represented, as we stage what will be the most celebrated and internationally acclaimed event in Australia horticulture,” John Dollisson, Apal CEO said in a press release. “We are planning to feature a number of esteemed international presenters and dignitaries, including a Reverse Trade Mission of over 40 buyers from Asian nations, and a massive trade show of almost 100 exhibitors.”

The three-day trade show and conference event will take place at Jupiters Gold Coast from 25-27 June.
