Co-located with foodpro 2026, AIFST26 Convention is fast approaching — bringing together the people, science, technology and ideas shaping the future of food.
Taking place at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on 27–28 July, AIFST26 will connect professionals, researchers and students working across food science, technology, innovation, regulation, manufacturing, education, nutrition, quality, food safety and sector leadership.
This year’s co-location creates even more opportunities to learn, connect and explore the technologies, collaborations and thinking driving the food industry forward.
Across two days, AIFST26 will feature more than 50 speakers exploring key topics including food safety, health and nutrition, sensory and consumer science, food policy and regulation, innovation, sustainability, advanced processing and more.
AIFST26 delegates can register for free to the foodpro exhibition, connecting attendees with the broader food manufacturing, processing and packaging community.
Whether you are working, researching, studying or leading across the food industry, AIFST26 is an opportunity to grow your knowledge, strengthen your networks and be part of the conversation.
