Writer and broadcaster Kate Humble will be guest speaker and present the inaugural Farm Building Awards.
Wessex secretary of RIDBA, Peter Chance, said: "As the farming industry develops, buildings are getting larger and having to deliver more than ever before. There is increasing pressure to protect the countryside, and planning permission is becoming more difficult to obtain.
"Design and siting of farm buildings is vitally important – but we must always remember that farming made the countryside as we all know and enjoy it and must be allowed to adapt to change.
"With the right design and build, farm buildings can be both functional and attractive.
"It is only right that we celebrate those who achieve these objectives: complementing the local landscape, being fit for purpose and designed with sustainability in mind."
