The second annual Equate innovation seminar, organised by thoroughbred industry entrepreneur Tom Seymour, has been boosted by an additional two forums.
This year’s Equate seminar, to be staged at Flemington racecourse on July 24, will feature So Bloodstock’s Alex So speaking about the use of cutting-edge AI technology in a joint project with Hong Kong University.
With a focus on expanding international access to high-quality horses, reducing risk for remote buyers and enhancing the customer journey through immersive technology, Seymour says So and HK University’s joint venture provides a glimpse into the future of equine commerce.
An equine welfare forum, hosted by Nathan Skrivanic, will also be held during the one-day Equate event.
“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,” Seymour says.
