Why not arrive a little earlier and begin your Tasmanian adventure before the Summit officially commences? On Friday, delegates are invited to join our Agrarian Kitchen & MONA Experience.

A carefully curated full-day tour showcasing some of Tasmania's most celebrated food, culture, and local character.

The day begins with a scenic journey to the picturesque township of New Norfolk, where you'll enjoy a memorable lunch at the renowned The Agrarian Kitchen. Celebrated for its exceptional paddock-to-plate philosophy, this award-winning dining experience showcases the very best of seasonal Tasmanian produce in a stunning garden setting.

Time permitting, you'll also have the opportunity to explore a little of New Norfolk's unique charm, whether that's browsing its collection of boutique antique and vintage stores or visiting a neighbouring local distillery before continuing your journey.

In the afternoon, the tour heads to the world-famous Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), where you'll have time to explore one of Australia's most iconic and thought-provoking cultural attractions at your own pace.

This relaxed and social experience provides the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow delegates while discovering the outstanding food, creativity, history, and hospitality that make Tasmania so special.

The excitement continues on Saturday evening with an elegant cocktail event that perfectly captures the sophistication, charm, and character of Hobart.

Hosted in a stunning five-star venue, this premium networking experience offers the ideal setting to reconnect with friends and colleagues, build new professional relationships, and enjoy an unforgettable evening in one of Australia's most captivating destinations.
