Education Partner
FarmFest is very excited to announce the University of New England (UNE) as the inaugural education partner for 2026. For over 70 years UNE has been delivering both on-campus and distance higher education to regional Australia. Bryn Griffiths, Director of Future Students and Engagement said, “UNE is excited to announce this partnership as we are committed to preparing and supporting individuals, communities, and research partners to deliver regional and rural success both in Australia and around the world. Our Alumni are the regional
leaders across our country and globally and we continue to be proud of the graduates we produce who choose to live and work in, and contribute to the social and economic sustainability of Regional Australia. We look forward to connecting with them, our existing students and future students at FarmFest 2026”.
Strong Interest from Returning Exhibitors
Having launched applications to exhibit at FarmFest 2026 in late November, we have received over 500 applications, including over 70 applications from new exhibitors, with over 50% of the site already allocated. This overwhelmingly positive response is proof that companies who want to showcase their products and services to the Queensland farming community recognise that FarmFest is the must attend event. Further information regarding new products and exhibitors will be featured in upcoming newsletters.
