The Right Time to Act: Energy & Efficiency Trade Show Free for Growers

The Right Time to Act: Energy & Efficiency Trade Show Free for Growers
The Pukekohe Energy & Efficiency Trade Show is a free afternoon on Thursday 18th September where growers can explore proven energy solutions and make the right connections.

Looking for ways to cut costs, boost productivity, and future-proof your operation?

Hear directly from other growers
Learn from other growers who’ve already put solar, geoheat, and biogas to work. These short, no-fluff chats will give you a clear picture of what’s possible – and who to talk to if you want to know more.

Meet the enablers
Between sessions, you’ll have time to meet the enablers: funders, tech providers, councils, agencies, and industry supporters. All the people you need to move your project forward will be in the room.

Catch up with other growers
It’s practical, it’s free, and it’s a good chance to catch up with other growers. Don’t wait for the next energy crunch, come and see what’s working now, and leave with fresh ideas and contacts you can use straight away.

Registration is essential: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1497809250789?aff=oddtdtcreator
