Wrap-up from Sydney Organic Expo 2008

This year’s Sydney Organic Expo was another great success. I hope everyone attending – organisers, exhibitors, presenters and visitors – enjoyed themselves and went away as inspired as I did. I found the Expo to be particularly beneficial. This was the first time I’ve attended the expo as a member of the Organic Guide team. While there were many familiar faces, I’d particularly like to thank those of you I hadn’t met before and who took the time to chat with me. As I said earlier, I left the expo feeling really impressed with every single one of the people I met. Everyone I talked to displayed tremendous passion for the organic products and services they were representing. You’re all wonderful! Congratulations and massive thanks to all of you. The future of Australian organics is in very safe hands!
 
You may have noticed that Jeff was busy taking photos during the expo. We’d like to share them with you. We’ve just set up an Organic Guide flickr account. If you have a website or blog that you’d like to use any of the images in, please feel free to download them. Additionally, if you’d like copies of any of them for promotional or other purposes please drop me a line and I’ll make sure we email you some higher resolution copies. In the meantime, please find a sample of what we were able to capture of the expo by checking out our new flickr sidebar (which appears toward the bottom right hand corner of this page). Cheers from Tony…

    Well….. I DID NOT meet you Tony but let me tell you something that is 100% for sure,I have been to the last two EXPOs and both were beteer attended and more media covered events than this years EXPO,I DO NOT think that organc agriculture is in great hands in this country,I DID NOT bearly even hear about this years EXPO except because I am in the know,I think much that it iis being mismanagaed and that times will be difficult in the future because of mismanagement,maybe you DO NOT know everything that is wrong with the organic agriculture system in this country anyway,but if you want I culd tell you why it is problems,poor attendence at the EXPO is just the start of it I think, ALL THE BEST - Trevor

    Tony - not too sure what Trevor is talking about. I enjoyed the expo as well. And I was at the last two also. From where I stand, it seems like Australian organics is going from strength to strength.Good on you mate - D Lane

    I didn’t hear about the expo until now, would love to have gone along. When and where was it, and when is the next one?
