Bringing Plants to Life

Innovation and Integrity

MAY 15 & 16 2024 | HAMILTON

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Hamilton for the NZPPI Conference Event 2024

With the theme Innovation and Integrity our Conference Event on 15 & 16 May 2024 explored the fantastic tech and systems available to producers today and the challenges and opportunities facing us in the future.

Thank you to all our 2024 sponsors!

Without our wonderful sponsors, Conference Event 2024 would not be able to go ahead and we are immensely grateful for their support. Full details on all our sponsors are available on our sponsors page but we’d like to give a special shout out to our major sponsors below. By supporting them, you support the NZPPI.

Daltons was again our Platinum Sponsor for this year’s conference, which includes the generous support of our Industry Dinner.

Daltons is a New Zealand-owned, family-run business that has been supporting and supplying the horticultural industry for more than 75 years with superior growing media and nursery supplies.

Te Uru Raakau supported us again as our Gold Sponsor.

Te Uru Rākau New Zealand Forest Service works with tangata whenua, landowners, and the forestry and wood processing sector. Its goal is to unlock the full potential of Aotearoa New Zealand forests to support our climate change response.

Advanced Hort joined us again this year and was one of our generous Silver Sponsors.

Advanced Hort offers innovative and integrated solutions for our industry, including Ellepot and Plant Propagation systems. The latter specialises in manufacturing pre-made Ellepots available in a variety of sizes. You’ll see Advanced Hort’s fantastic tech in action at both Innovation Day and at the trade display at the Novotel. Managing Director Nathan Hewson is also in our conference Innnovation in our Industry panel.

ICL was a Silver Sponsor again. Impact for a sustainable future: ICL’s commitment to a greener world spans the globe. ICL serves all the world’s green markets through its ornamental horticulture, specialty agriculture and turf & amenity divisions. You’ll see ICL at the trade display.

Prime Hort was a Silver sponsor this year and also demonstrated at Innovation Day.

As a leading distributors of garden tools and nursery supplies, PrimeHort looks at every innovation possible to offer a complete solution. The Prime Hort team understands that meeting customers’ needs takes a lot more energy than being a one-stop-shop with a large product range.

New Zealand Plant Producers Inc. is the industry body for plant nurseries and related businesses. 

Our members produce the seedlings that grow the food we eat and export, regenerate our forests, beautify our urban landscapes and homes, and are planted in our backyards.

Our vision is a vibrant plant production industry widely respected for its professionalism, innovation and major contribution to New Zealand.
