Farm Table

Australian Dairy Conference
2026-02-11 - 2026-02-13 | Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), 1 Convention Centre Pl, South Wharf, VIC, 3006, Australia
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.

The Big City BBQ has no presentations, panels or formal program.
Just good food, good company and meaningful connection.
Agriculture is built on relationships – but too often we only connect in formal or transactional settings.
The Big City BBQ is a chance to step away from schedules and enjoy a genuine social setting and be part of growing the community of Australian agriculture.
Take the opportunity to connect with people from across farming, industry, government and research, and meet the creators, communicators and decision-makers shaping ag conversations.
Enjoy a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere with food and drinks included.

Hosted by Gillian Fennell, Storytelling & Strategy Specialist at Farm Table, this event is designed to create space for the kinds of conversations that don’t always fit into conference sessions – relaxed, honest and grounded in shared experience.
Good food, good company and meaningful connection.
