Celebrating AgShows 2025
Thank You, Armidale!
What a weekend!
Celebrating Ag Shows 2025 (CAS25) brought energy, inspiration, and community spirit to Armidale – and it was all thanks to you!
With over 190 guests attending the Gala Dinner and around 160 participating in the Conference, this year’s event was our biggest and most engaging yet. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us – members, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and local hosts – for making CAS25 a truly unforgettable experience.
From the Heritage Tour hosted by the Armidale Visitor Centre, to the vibrant Welcome Drinks with Next Gen, the inspirational Conference sessions, the powerful Gala Dinner & Awards Night, and the relaxed Big Brekkie at Dumaresq Dam hosted by the Armidale & New England Show Society – every moment was made special by your presence
