2020 SheepMilkNZ Conference

Conference shifted to online live event  due to Covid-19

Extending the Potential

Tuesday, March 31 9.30-3.00pm

 Recording of the live conference

Unfortunately due to the coronavirus situation we were  forced to cancel the face to face  conference and we switched to an online-streamed on March 31. While clearly not ideal, as much of the value of our conference is in the conversations, connections and interactions that occur during the event, we nevertheless hope that the online option has been helpful in supporting the industry’s development at this, particularly exciting, time. All going well, we plan to run the face to face conference at Lincoln in 2021.  Below is conference presentation line-up for the streamed event with, where available, the slides.
