On behalf of the Agricultural Science Association, I would like to invite you to the Lyrath Estate Hotel, Kilkenny on Thursday September 5th  for our 2024 Annual Conference and Banquet. The theme for this year’s Conference is ‘Trading with the global consumer’ and addresses the current challenges facing our industry whilst also discussing the solutions.

We look forward to hosting leading figures from both the Irish and international agri food industry to share their insights and solutions for the sector whilst trading with the global consumer.

The expert contribution of our panelists we hope will provide valuable insights into how individually and collectively we can successfully navigate those challenges faced by our sector.

I would like to thank our Conference partner, FBD Insurance, our Banquet Sponsor Bord Bia and our main session sponsors, Tirlán, MSD and Alltech and our many other sponsors, without whom it would not be possible to organise this event.
