Your gateway to connecting with the global beef industry
Beef Australia will bring Australia’s beef community together with global industry leaders, buyers, producers, and innovators in Rockhampton from 2-8 May 2027, as part of its iconic International Program.
The Program is designed to strengthen trade or commercial outcomes and build consumer trust in beef, while helping international delegates learn about Australia’s beef supply chain and experience the best the industry has to offer. International delegates from across the world will be looking to connect with key industry personnel from across the globe, take part in business meetings, tour some of Australia’s beef cattle stations, learn about the latest in agri-tech, and taste and eat some of Australia’s best beef.
For Australian participants, the Program provides direct access to new markets, fresh perspectives, and long-term trade outcomes. It provides a platform to connect with the global beef industry, and creates opportunities to showcase premium cattle genetics, production systems, sustainability practices, agtech, and the latest food innovations to international delegates who are actively looking to learn, invest, collaborate and trade.
Through facilitated meetings, industry networking, educational sessions and property tours, international delegates will also connect with the people, products and expertise that makes Australia’s beef industry globally competitive.
The International Program is a chance to be seen by the world, and can open doors to trade conversations, market insights, knowledge exchange and partnerships that can help businesses grow beyond the event week.
