Gathering at Beef2024 in Rockhampton this week, AgriFutures Australia and partners Elders, the Queensland Government, and Brisbane Economic Development Agency have officially launched early bird tickets for AgriFutures evoke^AG.  2025.

In a beefed-up celebration with Australia’s cattle community, partners embraced the opportunity to also welcome the next edition of evoke^AG. – the Asia Pacific region’s premier agrifood tech and innovation event – before it heads to Brisbane, Queensland on 18-19 February 2025.

For the first time, evoke^AG. will be held in Queensland. AgriFutures Managing Director, John Harvey, urged the agrifood tech community to take advantage of the early bird offer and to participate in the 2025 event.
