LambEx organisers have announced the return of Australia’s largest sheep and lamb exhibition, which will be held in the Adelaide Convention Centre from 7 to 9 August 2024, following a six-year hiatus.
Federal Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain and South Australian Minister for Primary Industries Clare Scriven MLC have attended the re-launch, along with a group of local agricultural school students leading sheep on halters.
Meat & Livestock Australia Managing Director Jason Strong stated that following a series of setbacks caused by the pandemic, the industry has waited a long time to get the biennial event back on track.
“LambEx has been around for a long, long time and it’s something that really brings the sheep and lamb industry together like no other event can – so we’re looking forward to seeing it up and running again in 2024,” Strong said.
“It’s also an event that now attracts domestic and international visitors, which for the more than 1200 expected exhibitors is just a fantastic opportunity to showcase everything this industry offers,” he added.
Sheep Producers Australia CEO Bonnie Skinner commented, “Australia’s sheepmeat and wool producers are regarded as among the best in the world and next year’s LambEx will provide the perfect stage to showcase homegrown products from across the country to an audience of domestic and international visitors.”
LambEx Chair Jason Schulz said the organising committee had high hopes for the 2024 event.
“Exhibitors and sponsors will be putting the latest in science, research and tech innovation on show, while the extensive trade exhibition will also showcase some of the boldest and best products on offer,” Schulz added.
