Chairman s invitation Mr Andrew Johnson PPPE 2018 Welcome It is with excitement and pleasure that I welcome you to attend the Pan Pacific Pork Expo (PPPE) 2018. The two day event will be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on 30 31 May 2018 with a comprehensive program of presentations, workshops and trade displays. The year s theme Driving efficiency together is a call to action to bring producers and industry stakeholders together to collaborate and adopt cost production efficiencies to overcome the challenges facing the industry, in order to remain globally competitive. Boosted by a strong trade exhibition, the PPPE 2018 objective for attendees remains the same; to provide accurate, positive, relevant and high quality industry information in an engaging format. By achieving this, producers will be motivated to apply practical knowledge and processes on farm, for profitable and sustainable pig production. PPPE 2018 will again precede the Poultry Information Exchange and Australasian Milling Conference 2018 (PIX/AMC 2018), providing additional value to participants travelling to the Gold Coast. PPPE 2018 is designed to be the best yet. Sessions are being finalised and high profile industry speakers are being locked in, all supporting the PPPE 2018 theme. In supporting producers, the PPPE Committee will again provide an APL Producer Member Attendance Assistance Package of return airfares plus accommodation, to ensure the greatest numbers of industry participants are available to attend. Further information is provided in this prospectus. We recommend you put 30 31 May 2018 in your diary to be part of it. Andrew Johnson Chairman, PPPE 2018 PPPE 2018 CHAIRMAN S INVITATION 3
