Join us for NBRUC 2026
The Northern Beef Research Update Conference (NBRUC) returns in 2026 with the theme ‘From Research to Results: Driving Paddock Performance’, focusing on how R&D translates into on-ground impact across northern Australia’s beef industry.
Researchers, producers, extension officers, and industry stakeholders will come together in Brisbane from 10–13 March 2026 to explore the latest outcomes of beef research, examine what’s working, and identify where further progress is needed.
Whether you’re on the ground managing cattle or in the lab analysing data, this conference is for you. Producers will have the opportunity to hear directly from researchers, challenge ideas, and shape future priorities. Researchers can share results and seek feedback. It’s an opportunity to build networks and relationships to help tackle the next wave of industry challenges.
In addition to keynote addresses, the concurrent presentations will deliver bite-sized insights on key topics. And of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect over a top-quality social program.
