- Michelle Hocking, General Manager of the Royal Adelaide Show to deliver a presentation “What is threat and its types” which will encourage conference attendees to be aware of emerging threats to their events, how shows can identify, monitor, manage and respond to these risks; and
- Melinee Leather, grazier and 2019 Australian Farm Biosecurity Producer of the Year for demonstrating outstanding on-farm biosecurity practices who will share her practical knowledge of biosecurity and practical measures Shows can take to ensure they are meeting biosecurity obligations.
