Australian Dairy Conference 2026

ADC is an event for farmers, by farmers. ADC 2026 is scheduled for 11-13 February 2026 in Melbourne at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Created by a group of pioneering farmers as a forum to push boundaries and dairy thinking, ADC has evolved into Australia’s premier dairy event. Held every February, ADC has established itself as the leading national dairy forum in Australia looking at the industry holistically and focusing on the bigger picture issues. Strong global links and collaboration ensures delivery of a thought-provoking and challenging program designed to explore new frontiers and motivate Australian dairy farmers to think beyond the farm-gate. ADC is a volunteer driven not-for-profit organisation, governed by a farmer-led Board with several skill-based Directors each of whom is dedicated to using ADC to break through traditional state and industry sector boundaries. Unique in its approach, the ADC Board appoints a new farmer-based Programming Committee for each Conference, ensuring a new injection of ideas and people to create and set the agenda for discussion. ADC takes its national agenda and hosts the event in regions and cities around Australia.
