La quinta edizione della New Ag Conference & Exhibition avrà luogo a Budapest (Ungheria), dal 21 al 23 marzo 2007. La formula ormai assodata dell'evento prevede l'abbinamento di convegni tecnici e spazi espositivi. Fra i relatori - come precedentemente segnalato su Agronotizie - anche esponenti italiani di aziende ed enti presenteranno i risultati di ricerche e sperimentazioni su nuovi prodotti e nuove tecniche (dalla fertirrigazione alla sub-irrigazione).
On line sono consultabili gli elenchi degli espositori ed anche dei partecipanti che hanno effettuato la pre-registrazione, con una vasta rappresentanza dei paesi dell'Europa Centro-Orientale: Bielorussia, Croazia, Repubblica Ceca, Ungheria, Polonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Repubblica Slovacca.
Sono ancora aperte le registrazioni. Per scaricare il modulo, si veda il link a destra.
