Soil CRC Participants Conference 2025
26 – 28 August 2025
Duxton Hotel, Perth, Western Australia
The Soil CRC is heading to Perth, Western Australia for our Participants Conference this year! This will be a great opportunity for Soil CRC participants from the eastern states to learn more about Western Australia soils and agriculture and to interact with our WA colleagues on their home ground.
We warmly welcome members of the public to join us on days 2 and 3 of the conference to find out more about our research. We will gather at the Duxton Hotel in Perth CBD for our conference plenary on day 2, before heading into the field to see soil research in action on day 3.
Rub shoulders with researchers, farmers, industry representatives, and PhD students involved in the Soil CRC, as we come together to share our research outcomes and celebrate our achievements.
While you are there, why not experience the majestic landscapes and dreamlike experiences that Western Australia has to offer, from its golden outback to its stunning coral coast. Head to the Western Australia website to plan your trip.
See you in Western Australia.
