The 2026 NTCA Conference was united under the theme Better on Beef, celebrating the Territory’s backbone industry and its deep connection to community, culture, and trade.

This year’s theme recognised both the heritage and the future of the industry – from seasoned producers to next-gen leaders, highlighting the strength, innovation and resilience that define Territory beef.

Across three days, the event brought together producers, policymakers, researchers, and industry partners to explore what’s next for Northern cattle. The message was clear: the Territory is stronger, smarter, and more resilient – on beef.

With over 1,000 in attendance, 33 speakers,  127 sponsors and 92 exhibitors it was our biggest year yet.
