About Beefex 2010
BeefExis the pinnacle event of the Australian Lot Feeders’ Association. Held only once every two years, it brings together lot feeders, their colleagues, clients, processors and associated suppliers from all over Australia for two days of conferencing, networking and information exchange
In a BeefEx there is something for everyone. The program offers contrast from big picture to innovative detail and nuts and bolts practical elements. We have a speaking program that will inform, motivate, inspire and entertain as we take delegates on a journey that spans strategists, economists, internationalists, lot feeders (of course) – and even yes, the odd “left fielder”!
The event is supported by an extensive trade show, is preceded by a golf tournament for those who enjoy the opportunity of playing on a world-renowned golf course (and the chance to get to know your fellow delegates) and sprinkled throughout the program are various awards, industry ‘moments’ and special events that simply makey BeefEx what it is.
Such is the reputation of a BeefEx that the event is always a sell-out. We have reserved every available room at Royal Pines Resort and will offer over-flow accommodation to the nearby resorts where possible. Accommodation can only be reserved via the delegate registration process so we encourage your prompt registration to ensure your accommodation needs are met.

Welcome Function - Tuesday Evening
Performance Feeds provides an entertaining welcome function on Tuesday evening from 6.00pm. Please note this does not include dinner and we suggest you choose one of the many Royal Pines restaurants for dinner with friends that evening following the completion of the welcome function. Bookings are recommended.
Partners' Package
The BeefEx partners’ program continues to grow. The evolution of the partners’ program is in part, a recognition of the role that partners play and the wealth of knowledge and support that exists in this sector. Partners wishing to take advantage of the program are offered all social functions together with a dedicated program on Thursday, October 7.
Breakfast
A buffet or continental breakfast is available each morning at the Royal Pines Resort Parkview Restaurant. The cost of this will be billed to your room and payable on departure.
Golf
The Agrig8 Ambrose Golf Tournament takes place as the immediate pre-curser to BeefEx. This is a great opportunity to network and enjoy the opportunity that Royal Pines affords. If you are intending on joining the Golf Tournament you may prefer to check in the night prior, on Monday, October 4, otherwise you will need to be at the Club House by 11am on Tuesday ready for the 11.30am shotgun start. Green Fees must be paid up front with your booking but they are fully refundable up until September 30.
Children
Kid’s Club crèche and baby sitting services are available for both days and evenings. Prices vary according to the age and numbers of children. Bookings are by separate form and on request direct with the conference organisers. All childcare arrangements must be completed by August 30.
The Elders Espresso Cafe
A favourite place to meet during BeefEx is in the Elders Espresso Cafe – where a great coffee is on offer courtesy of the team from Elders. Make sure you visit the Elders team for your BeefEx coffee shot!
The NAB Lobby Bar
A most welcome component of BeefEx is the hospitality of the NAB Agri team – and the provision of the NAB lobby bar – as a great place to meet at the end of each day. ALFA would like to acknowledge the NAB for its ongoing support of BeefEx.
