AgriSA is excited to reveal the details for the Green Horizons 2024 Agricultural Congress scheduled to take place at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on 9 and 10 October 2024.
Says AgriSA CEO Johann Kotzé, “The theme of ‘green horizons’ embodies the essence of the congress, highlighting its dedication to sustainable agriculture, forward-looking strategies to tackle future challenges, and our unwavering commitment to nurturing growth, innovation, and collaboration within the industry.”
The congress will commence with AgriSA’s annual general meeting on the afternoon of 9 October, followed by a welcoming cocktail function for AgriSA-afffiliated members at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), carved from the structure of the historic Grain Silo Complex.
With a new, innovative format, the discussion sessions on 10 October will feature five thought-provoking topics each hosted at five carefully selected venues across three nearby locations all within a short walking distance from each other in the V&A Waterfront.
Throughout the day, three sessions on each topic will be presented, inviting speakers and delegates to delve deep into the challenges and opportunities shaping the South African agricultural landscape. Discussions will revolve around future strategies aimed at ensuring the sustainability and prosperity of the sector. In addition to the discussion sessions, the congress programme promises ample networking opportunities. Attendees will have the chance to connect after each session in the various venues.
A highlight of the congress will be the gala dinner on 10 October, where we will commemorate AgriSA’s 120-year journey and pay tribute to other companies that have surpassed the century mark. This celebration is a testament to the unwavering dedication, resilience, and innovation that define the agricultural sector.
