On the 26 and 27 October 2010, Avocados Australia is holding the 3rd Infocado Summit in Melbourne. The 1st Infocado Summit was held in July 2006 in Brisbane, the 2ndSummit was held in October 2008 in Sydney, with over 90 packhouse members, wholesalers and industry leadership attending.
The Summit will include an early morning visit to Melbourne Markets, a retail and food service tour on Tuesday afternoon, dinner on the Tuesday evening (26th), and a Summit workshop on Wednesday (27th) from 8.30am to 4pm.
The Summit is an invitation only event, in line with our Infocado policy that ‘only those that contribute gain the access’, we unfortunately must limit our invitation to those that have contributed to Infocado.
The invitees are the avocado industry’s major packing houses and the marketing companies that direct where the fruit is placed across Australia, those that participate represent over 85% of packed avocados trays in Australia.
The Summit will be to discuss:
- Extending and exploiting Infocado reports and data.
- New reports and data collection: wholesalers?
- Changes in the supply chain management now and in the future.
- Current world situation with avocados?
We have invited outside speakers to present and participate in a number of sessions. A full program and more detail will be available very soon.
