Join us for the National Wine Sector Bushfire Conference on 25 May 2021 to reflect on the 2019–20 bushfires around Australia and discuss how to prepare, respond and recover from future fire events.
The conference will hear from grape and wine producers and leading researchers who will present the latest findings on bushfire preparedness, smoke effects and recovery from fire to ensure that grapegrowers, winemakers and businesses are better prepared, better informed and better equipped to handle the decisions that need to be made before, during and after bushfires.
There is no fee to attend this event.
