Sixth Annual Agribusiness Law Conference

May 23, 2022 - May 24, 2022

$2145 – $2310
 ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The last 12 months have been a tumultuous time for agribusiness sector: the pandemic’s effects continue to be felt, directors are increasingly in the firing line, and environmental litigation risks are on the rise. Television Education Network’s 6th Annual Agribusiness Law Conferences explores these issues and more, including managing biosecurity and activism threats, competition law issues in practice, as well as food labelling compliance.  TEN is proud to once again welcome the participation of our major sponsor AACo (Australian Agricultural Company Limited).
