The National Insect Expo is returning to Woodend for 2024 with international interest.
Exhibition director, Dr Bert Candusio, said specialist collectors from several countries were eager to link with Australian breeders and collectors to develop potential entomology based commercial opportunities.
“We are getting very serious collectors and businesses showing great interest in attending this years event, and we are keen to develop this interest at every opportunity,” Dr Candusio said.
Last year’s event attracted international visitors from Copenhagen, Tokyo, Wellington, Brussels, New Deli, San Francisco and Madrid.
This year’s event is expected to see specialist collectors from Dallas, Chicago and Florida in the United States as well as Berlin, Zurich and Trieste in Europe.
Dr Candusio said that the amount of international interest in the event was “absolutely staggering” as the expo enters its third year.
The 2024 National Insect Expo will be held at the Buffalo Sports Stadium, Woodend, on October 4-6.
