ABOUT GA 2024

GA 2024 “Today, Tomorrow and Beyond” was hosted at GMHBA Stadium, on 18 and 19 March, 2024.  The Conference saw a diverse audience of local and international speakers, farmers, and industry delegates from the dairy and beef sectors.

The central theme of the conference revolves around the future of cattle breeding, incorporating cutting-edge technologies, and showcasing new industry research and ideas. The overarching objective is to inspire the next generation to leverage genetics in advancing top-tier dairy and beef operations while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of these industries.

Thank you to our sponsors, speakers, and delegates who contributed to the success of our inaugural GA Conference
