ABOUT GA 2026
GA 2026 will be hosted at GMHBA Stadium, Geelong on 17 and 18 March, 2026.
In 2024 the Conference saw a diverse audience of local and international speakers, farmers, and industry delegates from the dairy and beef sectors.
Looking forward to 2026 the central theme of the conference revolves around the future of cattle breeding, incorporating cutting-edge technologies, 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.
On behalf of the organising committee, we extend a warm invitation to you to participate in the GA 2026 – Today, Tomorrow And Beyond.
