In 2025 we welcome back Forum25, the Grower Group Alliance’s flagship event designed to connect the GGA network with the wider industry.
Held every two years, GGA Forum builds vital cross-industry links and forges opportunities for GGA network groups to engage with industry to shape the future of agriculture.
Delegates can expect valuable networking time, topical discussions and information exchange on matters we need to consider together as a WA agricultural community.
Above all, Forum aims to be an event to build relationships, one conversation at a time, that unlock the collective intelligence of our WA ag community to co-design a future for agriculture that we can all be hopeful about.
