Everything You Should Know About LiveXchange 2022
The next LIVEXchange event is taking place from 9-10 November 2022 in Darwin. The biennial conference is a major happening in the Australian livestock export industry. Organised by the Australian Livestock Export Corporation (LiveCorp) and the Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council (ALEC), the theme for LiveXchange 2022 is “From here to there together: strengthening our foundations and creating connections.”
Entegra is the platinum sponsor of the event and our trade display will feature a 3D printed replica of a RidgebackTM shed. The design has a concave roof that increases wind exchange by at least 20 percent – resulting in conditions that are cooler, drier and more comfortable for cattle. Please make sure you call past to see us on our stand (Site 16) and put your details in our draw to win a bottle of Entegra Signature Blend Bundaberg Rum.
