THE BUSINESS OF CIDER

3-5 May 2023, Perth Hills, WA

AusCider is the cider industry’s annual information exchange and networking event. It connects cider producers, fruit growers, researchers and cider industry representatives from across Australia and overseas.

Leading international cider experts will join an impressive line-up of Australian producers, researchers and technical specialists in the only conference of its kind in Australia.

PROGRAM

The 2023 conference was held in the Perth Hills of Western Australia from 3-5 May. Incorporating 2.5 days of seminars and networking events, a full day orchard and cidery tour and the national industry association’s Annual General Meeting, AusCider 2023 will explore The Business of Cider.

SPEAKERS AND SESSIONS

Keynote speaker Ryan Burk from the United States was joined by Australian and international experts to discuss cider production, growing, the latest developments in science and R&D, business management and sensory appreciation.

The Batlow CiderFest committee and the NSW Department of Primary Industries organised and convened the first seven conferences (2012-2018) in Batlow, NSW. In 2019, Cider Australia and the Batlow CiderFest agreed to transition management of the event to the peak industry body and AusCider 2019 was successfully held in Hobart, Tasmania. As part of the transition agreement, AusCider will continue to rotate annually between the key cider producing states of Australia.
