Time has flown, and we have now entered the middle of the year 2023.
This year, Hort Connections was held at the Adelaide Convention Centre where some members of the market were able to attend the tradeshow area, and network with a vast amount of people. Knowing that the rest of the market couldn’t attend, we have gathered information from across the conference to put in this edition so that no one misses out on the great discussions that were had.
Alongside this, we also get to read about how Grant’s charity bike ride went, the success of A better choice! Shop & Win and much more.
Shane Schnitzler President Fresh State Ltd.
