 INVITATION
TO ATTEND
Dear Colleague,
Australia will host the World Simmental Congress in Melbourne
in September 2010. I would like to take this opportunity
to invite you, your partner, friends and industry colleagues
to attend the 2010 Simmental World Congress.
Many international and Australian delegates are expected
to attend this important event to increase their knowledge
of Simmental cattle and the Australian beef cattle industry.
The Congress and the pre and post Congress tours will
include a range of activities to inform and entertain delegates.
The programme will focus on the role of thwe Australian
Simmental in maximising enterprise profitability, especially
through crossbreeding. It will also cover topics on innovations
in cattle genetics, stud and commercial herd breeding,
product quality, management technology and marketing.
The Congress will be held in conjunction with the Simmental
Feature Breed Judging at Royal Melbourne Show.
A special Congress feature will be an International Young
People’s Program.
We invite you to enjoy the Welcome Reception, interactive
networking sessions, a Congress dinner, a themed Australian
farewell dinner, partners program during the Congress and
other tour events.
In addition, the overall Congress program will provide
a memorable rural Australian experience and an insight
into Australia’s hidden wonders and attractions as
delegates journey through a diverse range of terrain, cultures
and environments.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2010 Congress.
Kind regards,
Bill Almond,
Chairman, 2010 World Simmental Congress
