Join the ADC pre-conference tour
We have an action packed day coming up, where you will have the incredible opportunity to see 2 Lely robotic dairy farms!
Discover how the Whipp and Rushton farms transformed their operations, and see firsthand how these advancements drive labour efficiency and profitability.
With these two farms only being a few minutes away from each other, we have prepared the pre-conference tour across both farms. You are invited to either join us on the bus (leaving from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center) or join us on your own behalf.
Don't miss this chance to compare and contrast how two brilliant dairy farms run and strengthen your understanding of robotics!

Thinking about automation?
Don't miss out this event
Come along for a ride as we load up the trailer with a Lely Astronaut A5 Next robot and hit the road across Southwest Victoria and into South Australia this November, popping up for a chat about where dairy farming is headed - data, AI, and robotics, and what it actually means for your farm and your day-to-day.
Our Sales Admin, Alan Steffensen, and the team will be on hand at every stop to walk you through the robot up close, answer your questions, and swap stories over a cuppa. We will also have Daniel Jung, as the Director of Customer Solutions from Sugre, joining us to talk about energy and how smart energy systems can help regional farms take back control of costs and keep the power secure.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but we'd encourage you to register, as it helps us get the food and drinks sorted. The first 30 people to register will be shouted lunch and refreshments on us. Sign up now!
