You can submit a question whilst filling out the registration form. However, we cannot guarantee that your question will be asked as our panel selects the questions prior to the event. At the venue, you will have the opportunity to ask a question live.
If I am not able to attend can someone go in my place?
Yes, but you need to inform us at least 24 hours before.
How do you select panel members?
We aim to select a panel of influential figures within the agricultural industry who have a broad range of views, knowledge, and experience. Where possible we try and select panellists who are relevant to the area in which the event is taking place.
How do you select audience?
To make the audience diverse and to ensure a range of different views and opinions are reflected, we try to select audience members of varying age groups and occupations. The successful audience members will be contacted by a member of the Farmers Weekly team and asked to provide two questions for the panel.
Will there be a drinks reception?
Following the event, there will be an evening drinks reception where canapes and light refreshments will be provided.
Is the event free to attend?
Yes, the event is free to attend, however you do need to apply to be a member of the audience.
