Marking 250 days to go, Beef Australia are excited to release the highly anticipated preliminary program for Beef2024, the premier event in Australia’s beef industry calendar.
The triennial event, scheduled to take place between the 5th and the 11th May 2024 in Rockhampton, Queensland, will bring together industry leaders, producers, stakeholders, and beef enthusiasts from around the country and across the globe for an unparalleled week of all things beef.
Beef Australia CEO Simon Irwin said he’s thrilled to be able to release a preliminary program nine months out from the event.
“Beef2024 will once again be a monumental gathering that showcases the resilience, innovation, and commitment of the Australian beef community”, Mr Irwin said.
“We’re proud to present a preliminary program that offers a taste of the exceptional events, content, and experiences that attendees can expect, reinforcing Beef Australia’s position as a leading event for the entire Australian beef community.
“Beef2024 is a must-attend event for anyone connected to the beef community, including producers, processors, suppliers, researchers, students, and consumers.
“This early release of the preliminary program aims to facilitate seamless coordination with colleagues, family, and friends, allowing you to strategically organise your Beef2024 calendar well in advance of tickets going on sale.
“Early bird tickets go on sale on the 17th October, offering members and sponsors two weeks to lock in their tickets before going on sale to the public on the 31st of October.
“We encourage anyone wanting to attend the popular social events to become a member to avoid missing out”.
