Two powerful additions announced for Equate 2025

Media Release - Thursday July 10

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.
