It is with excitement that I write this report, as the FAOPMA<\/a> Conference is only around the corner \u2013 a time where we will learn, discuss, make new friendships and continue the old.<\/p>\n

Ever since the first AEPMA Conference I went to, back in Melbourne, I always find myself getting excited about the two to three days I will be spending with my fellow \u2018pesties\u2019, just like I did when the Royal Show came around as a kid. This conference is no different, minus the chocolate-filled show bags!<\/p>\n

I have said many times before, our industry is all about people and the relationships we have with each other, and the community. The relationships I have built over the years by being at our conferences have had a significant impact on me as an individual and my business. I have meet people that I now consider life-long friends; gained respect for people I might not have, if I hadn\u2019t met them in the trade show with a beer in one hand, learning more about them; and learned tricks of the trade from others, that more than likely wouldn\u2019t have shared that information with me if I bumped into them on the street.<\/p>\n

FAOPMA Conferences are that extra bit special, as they expose us to international delegates and exhibitors, which broaden our horizons. Being active within FAOPMA circles over the last four years, I have made many international friends. Some of these friendships have opened up opportunities and provided me with knowledge I would have never known existed, without the relationships provided by our association in our region.<\/p>\n

From the presenters, to the exhibition hall and the social functions, I am sure that this conference will be the most successful conference ever held in our country, in our industry.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the national board and office, we truly hope to see you at the conference.<\/p>\n

As always, I look forward to reporting our progress in the next issue on all things happening at AEPMA.<\/p>\n

Until next time, I wish you all the best and trust all is going well within your business.<\/p>\n
