With just two weeks left, AltProteins 24 is fast approaching. Taking place on Thursday, 10 October, at the Sofitel on Collins in Melbourne, this year’s theme, Serving Solutions, will bring together world-class experts and industry innovators.  

Food Frontier’s AltProteins 24 is the premier conference for Australia and New Zealand’s alternative proteins sector, covering plant-based meats, cultivated meats, and precision fermentation.

Building on the success of the previous events, AltProteins 24 will explore the forefront of sustainable food solutions, with a special focus on health, commercialisation, and environmental sustainability.

This year, we're expanding to offer a diverse program that includes keynote addresses, academic presentations, and interactive panels with over 33 industry-leading speakers.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking debates, workshops, and technical demonstrations that showcase the latest advancements and address the challenges within our growing ecosystem.

AltProteins 24 is designed to provide rich insights and unparalleled networking opportunities, setting the stage for the next wave of food innovation.
