Showcasing more than 2500 brands over three days from 19-21 August, AgQuip will see more than 50,000 visitors exploring and learning about many of the world’s biggest names in agriculture.
They can watch live product demonstrations, check out new machinery, experience world-class AgTech, and browse the shopping precinct “Lifestyle Lane”.
Head of School at BDC Horizon Online Craig Verbruggen said, “Attending this event provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with the agricultural community and share the benefits of BDC Horizon Online, a flexible, future-focused learning model designed to support students in regional and remote areas.
“We know that every student’s journey is unique, and our online platform allows young people to pursue academic excellence without having to leave their community or lifestyle behind.”
BDC Horizon Online offers access to expert teachers, engaging digital resources, and a supportive virtual environment grounded in connection and care.
For families in the ag sector, it’s a chance to learn how students can thrive academically while staying closely connected to their rural roots.
An ever-evolving exhibition, this year’s AgQuip also launches the Tractor Game.
Another first this year is the “Local to the Plains” section,dedicated to celebrating and supporting local makers, artisans, and businesses from surrounding regional communities.
