Australia’s premier equine veterinary conference, the Bain Fallon Memorial Lectures, returns to the Pullman Hotel, Albert Park, Melbourne from 19–23 July 2026, with registrations officially open.

This year’s theme, Sports Medicine, Lameness, Endocrinology and Surgery, anchors a program set to be one of the strongest yet. The event spans four days and remains the largest equine veterinary conference in the Southern Hemisphere, drawing more than 270 delegates and over 50 exhibitors annually.

In 2026, Bain Fallon again partners with the Equine Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS), integrating their respected Vet Science Week Equine Lectures into the program. This collaboration elevates the scientific offering and is expected to attract record attendance.
