3. You’re coming in hot, let everyone know
When else do you get the opportunity to be in the one place as an entire agrifood ecosystem? Investors, researchers, producers, researchers, corporates and government – they’re all there. As Stu Adam, Agronomeye, CEO, shared recently;
“There was a moment at evokeAG. 2023 where I stood back and saw every single person in our team talking to all the different players in the ecosystem at the one time. It would’ve taken us months and months of Zoom calls, meetings and follow ups to make that happen.”
Make the most of the networking functionality in the app and make sure you are visible to other delegates so they can contact you. That’s what the event is all about, after all. Check your privacy settings and share your contact details. While you’re at it, why not let your LinkedIn network know you’ll be at evokeAG. 2024? Here’s a little something we prepared earlier, feel free to share far and wide;

From CEOs to emerging startups, you’re going to be bumping shoulders with thousands of people at evokeAG. 2024. Regardless of their title, you’re bound to find value in every conversation.

- Time is the ultimate investment
It might sound obvious but can often go by the wayside. If you’ve connected with someone and you’re already picturing them slotting right into your future goals, it’s a great idea to lock in time during your time in Perth to catch up in the RSM Business Lounge. If you’ve got a little extra time up your sleeve, be sure to book one or more of the evokeAG. sideline events held throughout the week of evokeAG. 2024.

Make hay while the sun shines and lock some time into your calendar in the weeks following evokeAG. 2024 to put the wheels in motion (you can also book post event meetings via the app).

Be bold and send a message while you’re waiting in the airport lounge on the way home. As they say, the early bird gets the worm.
