ConTech 2025

The Ai Group Confectionery Sector’s premier annual event for the Australasian confectionery industry, ConTech 2025, will be held at the MCG on Tuesday 6 May.

It is where technicians become technical experts, and technical experts talk to other industry experts. This not to be missed event is where key issues and challenges facing the industry and potential solutions are discussed, including intelligence on domestic and global opportunities.
