Organising committee chairman Phil Barnett said his group was happy with how the conference was received with a highlight the gala dinner at Walter Peak Station, which attracted 400 people.
Feedback indicates they successfully achieved the aim of providing a varied programme of education, events for youth, technical sessions, science papers, networking and visiting studs and farms.
