2026 Conference

EARLY BIRD. COMING SOON.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Join us in Darwin this September for the 2026 Nuffield Australia National Conference, the flagship event on the Nuffield calendar and a must attend for those shaping the future of Australian agriculture.

Set in the Northern Territory, where agriculture meets climate, culture and global trade, this year’s conference explores:

Beyond the Horizon: Leading Agriculture’s Next Frontier

Bringing together Nuffield Scholars, alumni, investors and industry leaders from across Australia and around the world, the conference is a platform for:

  • Sharing global insights and emerging trends
  • Showcasing returning scholar research
  • Announcing the 2027 Nuffield Scholars
  • Building connections that drive impact across the sector

From tropical production systems and northern supply chains to global trade and leadership, this is where the next chapter of Australian agriculture is explored.

Whether you are a producer, researcher, policymaker or agribusiness professional, this is your opportunity to connect, challenge thinking and be part of what comes next.
