Conference Aims
The conference will aim to:- Develop stronger interactions between the research and livestock industry communities relating to implementation of genomics technologies in the beef, sheep and dairy industries;
- Present the most up-to-date results from genomics research groups around the world;
- Achieve consensus on the best ways to implement those results in the beef, sheep and dairy industries in Australia;
- Review genomics research progress to date and identify new opportunities to achieve additional benefits for the beef, sheep and dairy industries in future; and
- Strengthen existing and develop new research collaborations that are focused on delivering benefits for the livestock industries across all countries.
The conference will attract attendance from individuals involved in researching, communicating, educating and implementing the latest genomics technologies in the livestock and human medical industries globally. It will include leading scientists from international and Australian livestock genomics institutions, service providers to the beef, sheep and dairy breeding industries such as breed society representatives, technical and research communicators, industry consultants, extension agents and leading beef, sheep and dairy breeders.
Early-career scientists in the discipline of genetics, genomics and livestock production will also attend the conference, providing valuable interactions between young scientists and industry, further encouraging their career engagement with the Australian livestock industries. Leading international researchers will actively participate in the conference to ensure international scientific and industry linkages are created and strengthened.
