National Workshops

The National Workshop is open to all members of Advance Parties. Numbers are limited so registrations are on a first come first served basis.  The Workshop will focus on issues deer farmers face and the changes that members have made since being in Advance Parties.

This year’s workshop sessions will be held on farms of members of the Waipa AP. Attendees will travel to host farms to have a look at one aspect of management on the host property, and then discuss specific management topics of interest to the group spending time working together through AP members’ questions. Each workshop will identify key opportunities for improved performance by drawing on the expertise and experiences within the group, from a range of technical resources and from subject matter experts who will be with every group.
