A new site layout, upgraded infrastructure, improved site signage and a sold-out contingent of exhibitors are all waiting to be discovered.
Make sure to visit the new Euroz Hartley Pavilion to find WA producers, such as wineries, gin distillers, brewers and other foodies and explore the dedicated zones for agriculture-related products and services for primary producers - including a dedicated livestock precinct and expanded machinery and ag supply zones.
Smart changes to the site layout support the ethos of connecting industry decision-makers, help foster connections between relevant suppliers and producers and make for a better visitor experience.
The new zoning has been well-received by exhibitors, and we hope you enjoy the new approach.

Building on the enormous success of the inaugural 2022 event, the Bringing Dowerin Downtown lunch returns in 2023 to gather Australia's corporate leaders, government representatives, farmers and keynote speakers in Perth for a conversation about the innovations and outlooks powering WA agriculture.
At the heart of Dowerin Machinery Field Days is a commitment to acting as a bridge between collaborators and advocates for the sustainability of the sector.
This event serves as a vital platform for sharing the knowledge and innovations that drive regional economic growth and the future of farming.
Bringing Dowerin Downtown is an opportunity to host this conversation in a different way and share the message with new audiences - but its purpose remains the same.
Just as the Field Days is tasked with growing industry, seeding connections and cultivating community, the Perth lunch brings together some of the country's most eminent agriculture advisers to grow industry knowledge, seed new ideas and advocate for the community of agricultural providers.
Innovations and insights
The hallmarks of WA's regional agricultural industry are collaboration, community, and connectivity.
Through a mix of keynote presentations and panel discussions, experts will share a range of regional perspectives influencing the booming ag industry and the people and places powering the push.
From the power of connectivity to transform agricultural operations by enabling farmers to access advanced farming technology, to the significance of agriculture to the State and national economies and the global trends influencing the industry, the role of volunteers as the lifeblood of regional emergency response, opportunities for local governments to collaborate and co-ordinate responses, and the synergistic potential of cross-sector collaborations, the experts will lead a holistic discussion about the opportunities, influences and advocacy priorities impacting WA's agriculture sector and regional communities.
An impressive line-up of speakers is already confirmed, with more to be announced soon, including:
- Luke Chandler, managing director Australia/New Zealand, John Deere
- Craig James, chief economist, CommBank
- Chris Cusack, general manager, nbn
- Local Kevin Brown, chief executive, St John Ambulance
- Karl O'Callaghan, chief executive, Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management
- Rebecca Tomkinson, chief executive, Chamber of Minerals and Energy of WA
- In response to attendee feedback from last year, the lunch will follow a new format this year with increased networking time and greater opportunities to connect and be involved.
- The lunch is possible with thanks to support from Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and the Wheatbelt Development Commission.
- Tickets are on sale now.
