Want to be at LambEx but can't leave the farm? We’ve got you

MEDIA RELEASE

30 June 2026

Sheep producers who can't make the trip to Adelaide for LambEx26 won't have to miss out, with the conference introducing a virtual ticket for the first time.

This new option allows producers to watch the plenary stage program live on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 July, before accessing keynote speakers and five breakfast sessions on demand for 90 days after the event.

LambEx Taskforce Chair Jamie Heinrich said investing in knowledge had never been more important for sheep producers.

"Every producer is looking for ideas that will make their business stronger, whether that's hearing how someone else has tackled a challenge, learning about new technology or understanding what's coming next for our industry," Mr Heinrich said.

"We know not everyone can justify travelling to Adelaide this year, but that shouldn't mean they miss out on those conversations.

"The virtual ticket gives producers the flexibility to tune in live or watch sessions when it suits them. It means the learning doesn't stop just because you couldn't get away from the farm."

The new ticket option also complements support already available through the Australian Government's Farm Household Allowance (FHA).

Eligible Australian primary producers and their partners may be able to use the Farm Financial Assessment Supplement, which provides up to $10,000 for approved professional advice, training and skill development. As a recognised professional development activity, LambEx is now an approved activity for funding under the supplement, helping eligible producers cover the cost of attending the conference in person or accessing it virtually.

LambEx26 will be held in Adelaide from 7 - 10 July and is already the biggest conference in the event's history, with registrations continuing to roll in.

Demand for the conference has also extended beyond the Adelaide Convention Centre, with ‘LambEx on Tour’ selling out and Friday's tours operating with a waiting list, highlighting producers' appetite for practical learning opportunities.

Virtual tickets are available for $800 (including GST).
