Hort Connections 2026 will be hosted between Mon 1st – Thu 4th June at the Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC). Hort Connections has grown to a 4,000-delegate event and welcomes almost three times the number of growers than it did at the time of conception. Hort Connections 2025 was hosted at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) and was the second largest conference ever produced. We are excited to expand on this in 2026 for a bigger and better conference than ever before.

All areas of horticulture will be recognised and celebrated at the conference, bringing together members from right across the vegetable, fruit and floral sectors. Hort Connections will yet again proudly showcase exciting new products, services and technologies to help shape the Australian and New Zealand industry – highlighting solutions in agricultural technology, finance, labour, energy and environmental sustainability.
