ONE WEEK TO GO! The Canegrowers Herbert River Link2Country Expo

The countdown is on! The highly anticipated Link2Country Expo, presented by CANEGROWERS, is just around the corner, making its debut on May 23rd and 24th at the Ingham Showgrounds. This action-packed, two-day event is set to bring the agricultural sector to life, connecting local communities to hands-on experiences, career opportunities, and much more.

With just a week to go, excitement is building as preparations for the event come to a close. The expo will feature trade stalls hosted by industry experts, educational programs, career information sessions, and plenty of live entertainment, including music, fundraising initiatives, and networking events.

One of the event’s highlights is a comedic performance by The CrackUp Sisters, who will be travelling all the way from Winton to bring their stories from the outback to life. The action-packed agenda promises something for everyone, whether you're looking to learn more about agriculture, explore career pathways, or simply enjoy the entertainment.

Over 500 students are expected to attend the event, eager to explore agricultural career opportunities. Leading professionals in the industry will be on hand to offer guidance and resources to inspire the next generation of agricultural workers.

"This expo is a fantastic opportunity for our region to connect with the agriculture industry and discover the wide range of careers available," said a spokesperson from Link2Country. "We’re excited to celebrate the amazing industries that call FNQ home and provide valuable connections for both students and professionals."
