The countdown to Equate '25 just got even more exciting. Australasia's number one innovation event for the thoroughbred industry has announced two brand-new sessions that bring together transparency, technology, and tangible takeaways for all attendees.
1. The Welfare Forum – Open Doors
Proudly sponsored by Kick-Up & National Thoroughbred Week - hosted by Nathan SkrivanicThis open Welfare Forum promises to be raw, transparent, and unfiltered. This isn't another panel discussion, it's a no-holds-barred conversation about the welfare realities in our industry — what’s working, what’s not, and how new technologies can help us raise the baseline and bridge gaps.
Nathan Skrivanic will moderate this honest and spin-free session, where questions will be taken from the floor. We encourage participation from all involved in the welfare sector.
2. Hong Kong University x So Bloodstock – A glimpse into the Future
In collaboration with Alexander So from So Bloodstock, this presentation will unveil cutting-edge technology from the Hong Kong University Equine Analytics and Bioinformatics Lab that is set to revolutionise the way trainers, agents and buyers assess bloodstock remotely. With a focus on expanding international access to high-quality horses, reducing risk for remote buyers and enhancing the customer journey through immersive tech, this is not science fiction - it's the future of equine commerce. One lucky attendee might even get to 'pat' a 3D-rendered horse using virtual reality.
With these two additions, Equate ‘25 is now guaranteed to be a game-changing event with something for everyone in the thoroughbred industry, no matter your role or technology knowledge level.
Be part of the Equate conversation.
