SPECIAL GUEST

Matthew Evans, your 2025 Keynote Presenter

Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian food writer, television broadcaster and chef who lives and works on Fat Pig Farm, a soil-to-stomach regenerative farm and restaurant located in Tasmania.

He’s been the host of six series of Gourmet Farmer and two documentaries on SBS TV. Matthew is the author of over a dozen books on food, including the On Eating Meat, and The Commons. His latest book, SOIL, is a hymn to the remarkable, and underappreciated bit of Earth that gifts us life.

Matthew will share his journey of building Fat Pig Farm from the ground up, starting with no business or tourism experience, and, in his own words, “not much clue,” – transforming it into a successful destination that draws visitors to experience its unique charm.

TESTIMONIAL

“Being a presenter at the inaugural Talking Tourism Business Forum was a deeply humbling a rewarding experience…The Forum provided a welcoming and supportive platform to share insights, exchange ideas, and learn from some of the brightest minds in our industry.. Whether you’re an industry leader or grassroots operator, your voice and experiences matter. This is your chance to not only inspire others but to be inspired, while playing a role in strengthening the fabric of Australian tourism.”
