ABARE's national OUTLOOK conference is the premier market assessment forum for Australia’s agricultural and natural resource industries.
The conference has a strong track record of providing reliable and essential information to the private, public and corporate sectors in Australia.
Policy agendas in Australia and around the world are developing rapidly across topics including horticulture, food, native vegetation management, water, climate change and trade reform. OUTLOOK 2008 provides an ideal opportunity to engage in debate on each of these topics, and more.
ABARE is one of the leading bodies producing year ahead and five year forecasts for Australia’s major export commodities. During OUTLOOK 2008 ABARE will release projections to 2012-13 covering Australia’s key agricultural and resource commodities
Throughout 2008 ABARE will hold a number of one-day regional Outlook conferences around Australia.
ABARE's regional Outlook conferences are an essential part of our delivery of commodity forecasts and research results directly to rural and regional communities.
With a diverse range of local speakers, complemented by ABARE economists, the Outlook program is tailored to each region.
Each conference delivers thought provoking information - from local agricultural data and innovative business practices through to the global commodity overview.
Conference delegates can hear commodity forecasts, discuss industry trends, access information and make new contacts in their community that can encourage new approaches to traditional issues.
Each conference is attended by the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry or a senior government colleague.
Delegates include farmers, accountants, bankers, consultants, rural counsellors, state and local government staff and anyone with an interest in their region.
The Boat House Group is a forum for invited international climate change negotiators and modelers to discuss issues of mutual interest. While each of these groups has many opportunities for exchanges amongst themselves, there are fewer opportunities for interaction between the groups. Importantly, both developing and developed countries are well represented.
