2020 program

Over two days, we welcomed guests to immerse themselves in the future of food and farming. evokeAG. 2020 brought to life the most topical of conversations in our agrifood tech industry, diving into the latest from the blue economy, uncovered the global trends impacting your current business model, and we heard real stories of adopting big-tech on-farm.

Our content-rich program was designed so delegates could “design” their own event experience. With simultaneous activities, thought-provoking conversations, interactive sessions and networking opportunities, evokeAG. 2020 had plenty on offer for all our delegates.

The program was curated into three arenas – Food, Farm, Future.

Thank you for an amazing two days - was such a fantastic and inspiring event. Exceptionally well run too.

Sarah Keenan, New Zealand Trade & Enterprise

evokeAG. is the go-to agrifood event in Australia. This year's Investor Dinner was also terrific - a great opportunity to reconnect with like-minded founders and investors, as well as meet new overseas investors in town for the event

Mike Zimmerman, Main Sequence Ventures

A master class in the world of agriculture with a multitude of ideas and direction working towards a better industry.

Jack Cowin, Owner – Hungry Jacks

Not attending evokeAG. in previous years has had a negative cost to my business, I did not understand the full value of evokeAG. until I experienced it first-hand. I got a huge amount out of it and will be attending in the future.
