Announcing Tiffany Tompkins as one of our speakers at the ODPG 2024 Conference in Hawkes Bay on April 5th and 6th
Tiffany’s enthusiasm for organic brands stems from her extensive experience in the food and beverage industries. She began her organic journey in the United States as an importer of organic Fairtrade wine. With the motto ‘Drink Like You Give a Damn’, she sold wine to distributors and national retailers like Whole Foods Market while educating the public on why this type of wine mattered.
In the USA, Tiffany became part-owner and COO of an online organic gift company, America’s Best Organics. Prior to that, she worked on brand engagement in the health and sustainability products market. She has also been involved in lobbying, including campaigns around GMO labelling and organic standards. Since moving to New Zealand, Tiffany has been involved in the organic industry as a member of the Organic Winegrowers New Zealand executive board (treasurer).

Conference Schedule
As the theme might give away there will be a lot of discussion time this year. Our sector is under increasing pressure with limited capacity for Meat processing and Dairy having major players drop out or looking to discontinue processing. What is our destiny and what can we do? Plenty to talk over.
Our event will kick off on late Friday afternoon with Registrations and then dinner, with speakers following laying the groundwork for both Saturdays Field Day and our Saturday night panel discussions. We’ll be on farm on Saturday looking at both Soil and Animal Health before returning to the function centre for the AGM, Dinner, more speakers and the Panel Discussion. There will be plenty of time to mix and mingle between planned events.
Included in your ticket is Dinner on Friday and Saturday night plus Lunch on the field trip.
