Home / Projects / Forum25

In 2025, we welcomed back Forum25, the Grower Group Alliance’s flagship event, which attracted a record attendance of 178 delegates to the conference day at Joondalup Resort on Friday, 1 August.

Held every two years, Forum builds vital cross-industry links and forges opportunities for GGA network groups to engage with industry to shape the future of agriculture.

Renowned for activating new, influential, and important working relationships, Forum provides high visibility for GGA groups to be recognised as an important and valued part of the WA Agriculture industry ecosystem.

Delegates enjoyed valuable networking time, topical discussions, and the exchange of information on matters we needed to consider together as a WA agricultural community.

3.00pm – 5.00pm | Member session – GGA Strategy 2026-2030

A facilitated session for GGA members to have input on the GGA 2026-2030 Strategy | Invite only

6.00pm – 10.00pm | Welcome Cocktail Party

An evening of great vibes, entertainment, inspiring conversations, and the opportunity to access and build important connections to kick off Forum25.

Smooth DJ tunes set the atmosphere for delegates enjoying roving entertainment, and a NEW silent disco headset room with the opportunity to rotate through ‘conversation circles’ with three ‘rock stars’ of industry: Debbie Dowden, Richard Heath and Su McCluskey.
