The program will also feature the Towards 2030: Red Meat Advisory Council Forum, where chief executives from the red meat Peak Industry Bodies will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, industry policy priorities and how they represent and advocate for levy payer interests.
With interactive panel discussions, producer-focused updates and opportunities to engage directly with industry decision makers, MLA Updates 2026 is expected to attract hundreds of producers and stakeholders from across Australia.
