Pre and post conference tours
Pre and post harvest conference tours can be organised for individuals or groups by contacting the research centres listed below. All research centres are based in South East Queensland and are within a half days driving trip from the Gold Coast.
Tours are by appointment only and it would be appreciated if conference delegates could make these 2 weeks outside of the conference. Appointments can be made by contacting person provided for each centre and by stating that you are a delegate of the “Smart Science in Innovative Horticultural Enterprises” conference at the Gold Coast in July.
