SPECIAL GUESTS CAS & JONESY GLOBAL ADVENTURERS
Cas and Jonesy are two Aussie Explorers constantly pushing the boundaries of human endurance. In 2012, they made history by being the first to complete the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time by walking from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without assistance—over 89 days and 2275km. Four years earlier they paddled 3318km without assistance across the Tasman Sea. They are regarded as two of Australia’s premier motivational public speakers.
ROLF SCHNEIDER HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL SALES, KUHN GROUP
Rolf Schneider was born in 1970 in Bern, Switzerland and grew up on a small family farm. He studied Agricultural engineering. He was responsible for after sales and product management at a Swiss agricultural machinery importer before joining Kuhn in 2000. He is based in Saverne France.
PAUL HIGGINS FOUNDER, EMERGENT FUTURES
Paul has been a dairy cattle veterinarian, an abattoir manager, a pork farmer, and an agribusiness consultant before becoming a futurist with Emergent Futures. Paul writes and presents regularly on future disruptions to business models, and consults to a range of organisations on how to think about the future.
