Through a Q&A format, the six guest experts will share valuable insights on new concepts in their respective countries, ongoing initiatives, applied plans, and proven success methods.
Moderated by journalist Nick Luck, among the panelists will be Brazilian Alberto Figueiredo, manager of Stud RDI and Bonne Chance Charm. Beto will be joined by U.S. participant Bret Jones (President of Airdrie Stud), Hirokazu Okada (President of Big Red Farm), South African Jehan Malherbe (breeder and owner), Irish Cathy Grassick (Breeder and President of Irish TB), and Australian Antony Thompson (Owner and Director of Widden Stud). Also participating will be Kirsten Rausing (President of ITBF) and Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges (President of IFHA).
