Agritech Unleashed: Dunedin 2026
2026-11-12 08:30 - 18:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Otago Business School Dunedin
Agritech Unleashed is a series of regionally distributed experiences that will celebrate and explore the unique characteristics of each region’s agritech ecosystem. Every region has distinct agricultural priorities, challenges, stakeholders, and infrastructure, which influence the adoption, interoperability, and scaling of agritech innovations.
We’re creating a platform for meaningful conversations to:

highlight unique regional strengths
gain insights by showcasing innovations in their natural environments
strengthen industry connections to foster collaboration
connect local solutions to national and global opportunities

To nourish the changes that will result in a more significant impact of agritech, we must explore how these connected local actions can evolve into larger systems of influence. The Agritech Unleashed series will catalyse emerging practices by helping to identify, connect, refine, and scale agritech innovations that are locally grounded and more widely interconnected nationally and globally.

International Dairy Federation World Dairy Summit Auckland
2026-11-15 - 2026-11-20
The New Zealand Organising Committee will be doing its utmost to ensure that World Dairy Summit in 2026, the third WDS to be held in New Zealand, will be as informative, stimulating and inspiring as the previous summits hosted in 2001 and 2010. We will assemble world class inspirational speakers and expert panels who will present, analyse and debate information, issues and opportunities that will appeal to a wide range of attendees.
Our theme – People, Planet, Economies – will show how dairy nutrition is an essential component of a healthy diet, how dairy farming and milk processing fits into a sustainable future, and the importance of the global dairy industry to the economic wellbeing of numerous communities and countries. In doing so our aim is to both explore the bigger picture and the role played by the IDF.
In addition, we will bring a local New Zealand style to the Summit and include technical visits to farming enterprises, manufacturing facilities and research facilities where attendees will experience how and why the dairy sector is such an important asset to the country.
There will be a wide range of diverse industries present, both local and global, recognising the vital part they play in supporting the global dairy industry.
An extensive social programme will feature the fine wines and food of New Zealand to complement the milk bar and offer visits to destinations that we believe are unsurpassed in the world.
We are sure you will experience an unforgettable and enjoyable IDF World Dairy Summit in New Zealand that will justify the “must attend” challenge.

South Island Agricultural Field Days 2027
2027-04-01 - 2027-04-03
AIMS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND AGRICULTURAL FIELD DAYS.

To provide a venue where machinery and other services can be demonstrated to the rural community.
To provide a vehicle for senior YFC members of the Christchurch District to acquire, in a practical way, organisational and business skills.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SOUTH ISLAND AGRICULTURAL FIELD DAYS.

To organise a professional exhibition that is an interface between the agricultural service industry and its clients.
To provide satisfaction to both parties in order to get return business.

The SIAFD is a story of success. It has been the result of hard work by young farmers since 1951. About 175 members have served on the organising committee and several hundred others have worked during the field days providing the hands on approach needed to prepare for and run successful events.
The co-operation of the machinery firms has been vital to the success as has the response from landowners when asked to supply a site.
The South Island Agricultural Field Day (SIAFD) is a non-profit organisation and the committee organises an exhibition for the rural community every second year.
