Anyone who has attended SIDE in the past three years can apply for a paid trip to the Australian Dairy Conference.

An exchange of delegates has been arranged between two key annual dairy conferences held in New Zealand and Australia.

Someone who has attended a South Island Dairy Event (SIDE) conference in the last three years, can apply for an all-expenses paid trip to attend the Australian Dairy Conference (ADC) on the Gold Coast next February.

The ADC attracts thousands of people each February and rotates between Victoria and other Australian states.

The SIDE governance group will pick the successful delegate.

In return a delegate from the Australian event will attend the annual SIDE event, being held in Timaru next April.

The all-expenses paid exchange will become an annual feature of the two events, says Glenn Jones, the chair of the SIDE governance group.

“This partnership isn’t just about exchanging delegates, it’s about sharing ideas that will shape the future of dairy farming across both nations,” he says.

The initiative has been instigated by past chairman Andrew Slater, alongside Jones.

Jones says the initiative aligns with SIDE’s overarching mission of equipping farmers with tools to adapt and thrive amidst evolving challenges.
