Countdown to BeefEx 2026 begins

With one year to go, the countdown to BeefEx 2026 is officially underway.

The Australian Lot Feeders’ Association (ALFA) is pleased to announce that BeefEx 2026 will take place from 22–24 September 2026 at a new and exciting venue, the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. 

BeefEx is held every two years and is the premier conference for Australia’s grain fed beef industry. Known for its high-calibre speakers, technical insights, networking opportunities and celebrations of industry excellence, the 2026 event is set to be bigger and better than ever before. 

Due to record-breaking attendance in 2024 and the continued expansion of the feedlot sector, we are excited to announce a move to a larger venue to better accommodate the growing interest and opportunities for all of industry. 

Moving to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre will allow ALFA to deliver an expanded program and accommodate a growing audience, providing more opportunities for delegates, sponsors and exhibitors alike. 

“BeefEx is a unique opportunity for industry to come together, share knowledge and celebrate the people and businesses driving our sector forward. The move to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre means we can take the event to the next level, and we’re excited to start the countdown to what promises to be our biggest BeefEx yet,” said Grant Garey, ALFA President. 

In addition to the three-day conference, BeefEx 2026 provides the perfect excuse for delegates to extend their stay and enjoy all that the Gold Coast has to offer; from world-class dining and entertainment to stunning beaches and natural attractions. 

With just one year to go, ALFA has today launched sponsorship opportunities for BeefEx 2026, inviting organisations to partner with the event and gain visibility with leaders and decision-makers from across the lot feeding sector. 

Further details on the program, speakers and ticket sales will be released in the coming months.
