E Tipu IFAMA 2023 World Conference themes and ticket details released
Happening 17–20 June in Ōtautahi Christchurch and virtually, the E Tipu IFAMA 2023 World Conference is the essential event of 2023 for primary industry leaders and changemakers.
The conference is backed by a powerful partnership between Boma — the organisers of E Tipu: The Boma Agri Summit — and the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA).
Since 2019, 97 remarkable local and global speakers in agri have shared world-leading insights at E Tipu. Over its 33 years, IFAMA has hosted thousands of extraordinary presentations in more than 50 countries, all centred on the global food and agribusiness system.
Joining forces in 2023 makes E Tipu IFAMA 2023 Aotearoa’s biggest and most comprehensive summit in the agri sector. The event aims to connect, inspire and galvanise primary industry communities in Aotearoa and around the world.
The central theme of the conference is Transforming the Food and Fibre System, bolstered by four sub-themes focused on farmers, fibre, food and future.
The "Farmers first" theme centres farmers delivering on bold ambition, representing the forefront of the global food and fibre sector.
The "Fibre first" theme highlights forward-thinking developments in fibre, showcasing how advancements are shaping the future of the industry.
The "Food first" theme explores powerful innovations in food production, distribution, and consumption.
The "Future first" theme is all about staying ahead of the curve and understanding where the world is heading, so primary industry leaders can prepare for the future and take advantage of the opportunities that it presents.
All themes are interwoven with indigenous perspectives and sustainability in mind, and will be focus points across all conference components; including the Global Forum, Academic Research Symposium and the Global Student Case Competition.
The legacy of E Tipu: The Boma Agri Summit shines in the Global Forum segment of the conference. This two-day event, taking place on June 19–20 at Christchurch Town Hall, features mind-blowing talks from global and local leaders in food and fibre, action-oriented workshops, and valuable cross-sector networking opportunities. The Global Forum aims to inspire bold ambition in the food and fibre sectors and provide primary industry leaders with actionable steps to move forward.
Optional additions to the conference include a presidential banquet on the final evening of the Global Forum, and field trips showcasing local innovation in the Canterbury region.
