LAMB producers will make up half the speakers at the LambEx26 in Adelaide South Australia from 7-10 July this year.

The Adelaide event will feature a world-leading line-up of more than 80 speakers, spanning producers, processors, researchers, global market analysts and innovators, with a clear focus on practical value for sheep businesses.

LambEx26 Taskforce Chair Jamie Heinrich said 50 percent of keynote speakers are producers, putting real production experience at the centre of the program.

“Every producer has their own niche, and the theme ‘Telling Our Stories’ creates the space to unpack what drives each business,” he said.

“The program covers everything from adapting farm businesses and building a team, through to breeding, animal health, expansion, production efficiencies, containment and performance – right down to what happens on the hook.”

“LambEx26 shines a spotlight on sheep businesses across Australia and the world. It’s what the industry asked for, and we’ve delivered in spades – more than we’ve ever had on stage before,” he said.

Organisers said the program with its biggest producer line-up ever drives LambEx26 program brings together real-world examples from different production systems, breeds and regions, alongside international perspectives and leading market insight.

The event will include rapid-fire innovation sessions featuring global market trends, artificial intelligence in agriculture and practical business management, with a consistent focus on what works – and how it applies on farms.

At the centre of the program sits the LambEx26 AMPC Carcase Showcase - the largest lamb carcase showcase and feedback exercise from one cohort in the world. Organisers said the scale of the showcase is unmatched, with carcase data assessed and pulled apart live on stage by producers, meat processors and industry experts.

Mr Heinrich said the showcase alone would make LambEx26 a must-attend event.

“The scale of this is incredible.

“You’ve got the entire supply chain in the room, working through real results together,” he said.

“That level of transparency and insight is rare – and it’s where real progress happens.”

The event will also include Tech Talks, trade floor innovations, global market updates and producer-led panels, and culminates in the Elders Grandslamb Gala Dinner.
