B+LNZ is excited to welcome Rabobank New Zealand as a Strategic Partner for Out the Gate 2026, taking place 20-21 May in Christchurch.
Rabobank joins Farmlands and Craigs Investment Partners as Strategic Partners, with Gallagher confirmed as Principal Partner. Together, these organisations are powering an event that sets the tone for the future of farming.
Out the Gate 2026, powered by the B+LNZ Farmer Council & Kāhui, is the sector’s premier event – bringing together farmers and industry leaders from across the country for two action-packed days of learning, networking and celebration.
Rabobank New Zealand CEO Todd Charteris said the bank’s decision to come on board as a Strategic Partner reflects its deep commitment to supporting farmers and driving growth across the sector.
“As a food and agribusiness banking specialist, we have a strong focus on working alongside our clients and other industry participants to explore the opportunities and challenges faced by New Zealand’s primary industry,” he said.
“Our involvement with Out the Gate provides another opportunity to engage with farmers and industry representatives on the issues that are important to them, and we’re really looking forward to the event later in the year.”
Bringing NZ’s biggest agricultural events together
Out the Gate combines the B+LNZ Awards, the Sheep Breeders Forum, and a dynamic programme designed to inspire and connect.
Back by popular demand, one of the headline speakers is Simon Quilty from AgriTrends, who will share critical insights into global market trends. Farmers raved about Quilty’s presentation at the 2025 event, and his return is set to be a highlight.
