Request an MLA speaker for your event

You may request an MLA staff member to speak at your event. MLA employs an expert team of people who combine their skills and work together to advance the Australian red meat and livestock industry. Members of our team are able to speak on a wide range of industry topics.

Such requests are considered against the priorities set out in MLA’s Strategic Plan, which contribute to the profitability, sustainability and global competitiveness of the red meat and livestock industry.

MLA will review applications at the end of each month and advise applicants at the beginning of each following month.
