Program
The International Symposium Managing Organic Matter & Using Compost in Horticulture will take place at the University of Adelaide over a four-day period (Monday – Thursday). It will be our pleasure to welcome you at the historic Urrbrae House where you can meet old friends and chat with colleagues in a relaxed and dignified atmosphere.
The Symposium itself will take place at the modern Australian National Wine Centre, and will most likely
run two or three parallel streams. Field trips on day three of the Symposium will provide you with a break
and an opportunity to see the diversity of horticultural industries in and around Adelaide, and, by visiting
research sites, gain an insight into relevant R&D work currently under way. Although the Symposium closes
on Thursday, Friday is reserved for activities or meetings of special interest groups, events for farmers and
practitioners, or for your own enjoyment.
After a leisurely weekend, delegates will have the opportunity to partake in one of several two-day field trips, which will be run in parallel in different Australian States. This will provide you with an opportunity to see more of Australia, and also more of Australian horticulture in varying climates and production systems. These Interstate field trips will be offered as an optional extra.
