Experience the future of farming at Big Tech Big Ideas
Farmers, advisors and Agtech enthusiasts across the Central West are invited to experience the future of farming at Big Tech Big Ideas, a 2-day field day being held at the Dubbo Showground from 26–27 March 2026.
Big Tech Big Ideas is proudly coordinated by Central West Local Land Services and the Farms of the Future program through the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. Big Tech Big Ideas is part of the Adapt 2 Project, supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.
Neroli Brennan, Sustainable Agriculture Team Leader at Central West Local Land Services, said the event will showcase cutting-edge ag solutions, foster collaboration and spark bold conversations about the future of Agtech and regional innovation.
“Big Tech Big Ideas is about giving producers the tools and confidence to navigate the fast-moving world of Agtech and explore technologies that can solve real on-farm challenges.
“We’re excited to also offer a stellar line-up of speakers, including industry leaders, researchers and producers who are already embracing Agtech.
“A highlight of the program will be a panel session focused on early adoption, on-farm applications and peer learning from Central West producers.
“Day 2 will also feature an industry breakfast where we’ll explore artificial intelligence use in agriculture.”
Neroli said the event will feature live demonstrations, interactive displays and expert advice for producers to gain insights they need to make confident decisions for their farm’s future.
“Thanks to our partnership with the Farms of the Future team, we’re proud to present Agtech Alley, a one-stop destination to explore connectivity solutions, monitoring devices and data collection tools.
“Agtech is no longer a future concept and Big Tech Big Ideas will connect producers with the tools they need.”
