The event, which has been held for more than 20 years, gives wool classers and wool growers the opportunity to meet buyers, ask questions and receive feedback.

AWEX chief executive Mark Grave said having buyers coming out closer to growers gave a unique opportunity for growers and classers to have their say and ask questions to key buyers.

Victoria Wool Processors general manager David Ritchie will discuss clip preparation and the impact on processing, carbonising and scouring in Australia, and VWP customer requirements.

An open forum with a panel of wool exporters/processors discussing current market trends and answering questions on industry requirements is another drawcard for the event.

The forum will be held at the Bendigo Bowls Club in Barnard Street from 9am to midday. For more information, call 02 9428 6100.
