Our Carbon Farming Conference is a Stunning Success

Brian Marshall, a Holistic Management trainer, sent us this wonderful email after our recent Carbon Farming Expo & Conference: "Just wanting to record my thanks for a super conference that has really given the Carbon 'snowball' a big push.
Much enjoyed watching you as a family, both on & off the stage, make the event happen with real passion and personality." It was a family affair and I was proud of our family. Jessica left her busy corporate youth training business in Sydney and worked like a navvy. Having her organisational skills on the team as a helper is an unreal experience. Daniel operates the second camera unit for the DVD of proceedings so we can spread the word far and wide and the people who couldn't be there because of harvest can attend after the fact. Young film maker Aaron Scheibner managed camera it 1 with supreme discipline.
Louisa did an amazing, life-transforming job first of all selling the whole show to sponsors, then to attendees, and in building the team to deliver the event. Catering, exhibition space, parking, registration, sponsors, everything.
(She is seen here at the sponsors' and speakers' dinner with Peter Andrews, Mr Natural Sequence Farming.)

I had three presentations to prepare and hers, that's four.

We also had the help of Judy Cooper - an Adoptasheep 'parent' - who proved a tower of power with the time keeping and support for Louisa. And Tom Nicholas came down from Queensland to lend a hand. These amazing people gave us a taste of the enthusiasm that emerged during the two days.
