AFGC ANNOUNCEMENT
As the global outbreak of Coronavirus continues to escalate, and the recent directive by the Government in relation to mass gatherings, the AFGC has decided to cancel all major events planned for the next few months.
We take the health and safety of all our AFGC delegates very seriously and will continue to provide updates on the events pages of afgc.org.au. If you have any questions, please email our Member Engagement and Events Manager, alyssa.handy@afgc.org.au.

Events & Education
FOOD AND GROCERY AUSTRALIA 2020 rescheduled
In response to the Government’s announcement on Friday cancelling mass gatherings and growing concerns expressed by attendees and speakers about the risks of COVID-19, we have made the decision to reschedule Food and Grocery Australia, which was to take place in Melbourne on 27 to 28 May.
The AFGC remain fully committed to Food and Grocery Australia, but we recognise our responsibility to prioritise the health and safety of our guests, speakers and staff.
Attendees will receive further communication once a new date for May 2021 has been confirmed. Tickets already purchased will be valid for the rescheduled Food and Grocery Australia or will be refunded in full, at the attendee’s discretion.
To advise us of your decision about your ticket, or if you have any other questions, please email our Member Engagement and Events Manager, alyssa.handy@afgc.org.au.
