Two days – two ways

ABARES Outlook 2026 will be held over two days with two ways to participate - both experiences feature a dynamic program with influential speakers and panellists from industry and government. A mix of sessions will keep delegates engaged including keynote presentations, fireside chats, panels, and a debate on day two.

Former BBC host, Nuffield Scholar and passionate agriculture advocate Claire Taylor will emcee the conference and guide delegates over the two days.

In-person delegates will have opportunities to network and make new connections. This experience includes a ticket to the Welcome Sundowners networking event, proudly sponsored by the Council of Rural RDCs, at the end of day one.

The conference will also be broadcast live, enabling our online delegates the opportunity to view all sessions virtually, with commentary and facilitated discussion by Andrew Whitelaw and Matt Dalgleish of Episode3.
