14.01.2022 Conference Cancelled In the last few days the DairyTas Board and Staff have been carefully considering the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the upcoming 2020 Tasmanian Dairy Conference and Awards Dinner. Given the impact of travel restrictions on guest speakers, and the risk to attendees, the decision has been made to cancel the events. Due to the calibre of speakers, the support of sponsors and the quality of nominations received for the various awards, it is disappointing no...t to hold the event but believe it is the right decision to make. We are currently looking at the most effective way to issue refunds. In the coming weeks we will look at rescheduling the Awards dinner as a standalone event to recognise a number of exceptional businesses and individuals from across the industry. If you have any queries please contact the DairyTas office on (03) 6432 2233. Cancellation also includes associated events (Pre-Conference Tour and YDN Annual Dinner)
