Each March, our team comes together for the Burgess Rural Annual Conference — a much-anticipated few days of learning, collaboration, and connection at our Victorian property, Glenaroua Homestead.

The conference combines farm tours, workshops, and team-building activities, giving everyone the chance to learn, share ideas, and strengthen our collective skills. We’re joined each year by our trusted partner consultants, whose experience and insights add real value to the conversations and activities.

It’s also a great opportunity for our on-farm and office-based teams to come together — swapping stories, sharing knowledge, and enjoying the chance to connect outside of the day-to-day.

Each October, our NSW properties — Bucki, Lockerbie, and Little Billabong — welcome the Burgess Rural Conference. The event combines professional development, learning, and plenty of opportunities for networking, with a healthy dose of friendly competition.

This year, the team will go head-to-head in hotly contested events such as the Ern Burgess Memorial Golf Trophy, the Farm vs Farm Challenge, and the Best Agricultural Invention Shield. It’s fiercely competitive, but just as much fun for everyone involved.

Our trusted partners also join us, offering guidance and expertise to ensure our agricultural practices continue to reflect industry best standards. The conference is a great chance for our teams to connect, learn from each other, and enjoy the camaraderie that makes Burgess Rural unique.
