Boma New Zealand has announced its E Tipu 2022: The Boma Agri Summit will take place on 21-22 June in Christchurch.

E Tipu connects New Zealand’s food and fibre sector with the world, bringing together remarkable speakers and changemakers to ignite conversations, share insights and help shape the future of New Zealand’s primary industries.

Organisers say the 2022 summit will be bigger and bolder, with more reach, virtual integration and collaboration opportunities than ever before.

The summit features two days of talks from global and local world leaders in agri, plus interactive workshops, expert panels and special Q&As, innovative exhibits, cross-sector networking, and more.

“The energy coming off of E Tipu 2021 was incredible, with people immediately following up to kick off new projects and act on what they learned,” says Boma NZ founder and chief executive Kaila Colbin.

“We’re looking to further turbocharge that momentum, and are excited to once again collaborate with and amplify the many incredible innovations and initiatives taking place across the sector.”

The summit is supported by Host City Partner ChristchurchNZ and has partnered with Agri-Women’s Development Trust, Lincoln University and AGMARDT.
