MLA forum to discuss digital future of meat industry

01/09/2016
Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) will host a forum on the digital future of the Australian red meat industry in Brisbane on October 6.

The forum will give industry participants the opportunity to learn about what the future holds for this aspect of the red meat and livestock industry. It is the next phase of the plan outlined by the MLA in June to develop the industry’s digital strategy.

The event will see a range of domestic and international experts discuss the potential benefits of new technology and how best to implement it.

Richard Norton, MLA managing director, said the forum would allow those within the industry to contribute to the development of a digital strategy and to learn about the role it will play in the future.

“There is a compelling need to harness the multitude of new digital technologies to ensure they work together to build prosperity throughout the red meat industry,” he said. “This forum is a perfect first opportunity for interested participants to come together and discuss our digital future.”
