“A collaborative approach to information exchange and the opportunity to present our industry as a highly professional, progressive sector is the cornerstone of LambEx. The Australian sheep and lamb industry would not be what it is today without the many companies that provide goods and services to us – a relationship that is highly valued and an essential component of our success story. LambEx 2014 is an opportunity to further cement that culture of total collaboration. We invite and welcome every company that provides goods and/or services to the Australian sheep and lamb industry to be part of the phenomenon that is LambEx.”

–Allan Piggott, Chair, LambEx 2014

Introducing LambEx

LambEx is joint initiative of Australian lamb producers, processors and research and extension agencies who are committed to joining industry in a manner that will define our future and demonstrate how our total professionalism and unity will deliver a prosperous and vibrant future for Australian lamb. LambEx 2014 has been underpinned by a joint venture between the South Australian Sheep Advisory Group (SASAG), Meat and Livestock Australia, PIRSA, Thomas Foods International, JBS Australia, Australian Wool Innovation and the 8 NRM boards of South Australia– who together have an intent to provide for industry, a high-end event comprising a two-day conference program, a significant trade show, a gala lamb dinner and an opportunity to bring producers, processors, exporters, young industry professionals, service providers and food service professionals together in the one venue. LambEx will be the lamb industry event of 2014, leaving an estimated 500 plus attendees in no doubt that they are part of a vibrant and professional agricultural sector.We recommend you put July 9-11in your diary to be part of it.

The objectives of LambEx are to

  • Reinforce the total professionalism of the Australian lamb industry, by staging an event that is polished, high-end in style/content and in doing so has the capacity to position the lamb industry as highly professional, proactive, information seekers, working and communicating throughout the value chain, from grass roots through to food service;
  • Provide incentive and motivation for members of the lamb industry to grow supply, while achieving consumer quality expectations, and also to adopt best-practice farm management and marketing in a manner that will help drive the future profitability and sustainability of the industry, leaving delegates feeling positive about their future and its opportunities and motivated to ‘go home and do even better’;
  • Provide a forum for connectivity between producers and food service and all those in between;
  • Provide quality industry information in an entertaining format that includes practical, take-home information that can be immediately applied on-farm, boosted by a strong trade exhibition; and
  • Achieve a crowd of 500 plus from all states and support this with a 40 booth trade show.
