Conference VenueSydney ShowgroundHall 2A The Sydney Showground is operated by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) on the basis of a 99-year lease (with a further 99-year option) with the NSW Government. The RAS is a not for profit organisation formed in 1822 to raise the standards of agriculture in NSW and Australia. Today, the RAS continues to support and promote agricultural excellence and innovation through events, competition and education. The RAS held its first Sydney Royal Easter Show in Parramatta in 1823, moving to Moore Park in 1882. The move to Sydney Olympic Park in 1998 followed the NSW Government’s multi-million dollar development of the site to provide a new home for an event that brings the country to the city every year. Over 1.5 million people visit Sydney Showground each year to attend events as diverse as the Sydney Royal Easter Show, outdoor music concerts, conferences, public and trade fairs and gala dinners. Sydney Showground is located only 30 minutes from the CBD and 10 minutes from Parramatta. Getting to the Showground is easy, with a train station at the door, a bus service from all areas of Sydney, ferries from the CBD and Parramatta, and parking for 10,000 cars. Multiple accommodation options are also available within walking distance. This will be the 4th year that the NSW Farmers’ Association Annual Conference will be held at Sydney Showground.
