Attendees will include farmers, local residents, businesses, companies and others interested in food production, agri-innovation and the future of farming.

AgTech Demo Day will have displays and in-field demonstrations from 1-3pm by AgPick Technology, Tabby Sensors, Envirolyte, Ceres Tag and more.

A panel and Q&A session, from 3-4pm, will have speakers including Lewis Frost, secretary of AusAgriTech Association and CEO Ceres Tag; Steve Dudgeon, Managing Director Yabby Sensors and Henrietta Child, CEO of AgPick Technology

The Beers and Banter networking session is at 4pm hosted by Innovate Moreton Bay.
