Australia's National Beef Exposition brought in excess of 60,000 visitors to the region (including 461 delegates from 32 countries). The event has grown every 3 years and has become an important date on the calendar for the region, as well as people involved in the cattle/beef industry.

Beef Australia provided a great opportunity for the University to showcase research, interact with industry and support an event that enhances the development of the region's economy.

More than 400 trade fair exhibitors showcased their wares at what is Australia's one stop shop for all things beef and cattle related.
