MEET OUR SPEAKERS

We are thrilled to announce the distinguished speakers who will be presenting
at the 13th APMBC and 5th ANZMBS conference.

Our lineup features experts in a variety of fields, each with a unique perspective and a
wealth of knowledge to share. Stay tuned for further announcements.

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Several industry sectors are serviced by marine biotechnology in South Australia. South Australia is home to a large seafood industry that is constantly looking to value-add to its products. The Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre (Seafood CRC) was based in Adelaide from 2007 to 2014 and provided support in the way of funding research projects for several SA seafood/aquaculture industries e.g., Southern Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail Kingfish, Sardines, Oysters and Southern Rocklobster. Australian Kelp Products (AKP) in Beachport, South Australia produces liquid kelp fertiliser, and animal feed from seaweed.  In driving the Australian third-generation high-value marine bioproducts industry development, an Australian national industry-driven R&D consortium of over 70 industry and research Partners has secured a significant public and private funding in 2021 to support the establishment of Marine Bioproducts Cooperative Research Centre (MBCRC), the Australian national industry-driven R&D flagship.

CONFERENCE VENUE

The Adelaide Convention Centre is a centre transformed – The recent expansion has seen it emerge as Australia’s most flexible and technologically advanced convention centre.

 

A striking landmark on Adelaide’s Riverbank, the Adelaide Convention Centre comprises three independent yet seamlessly integrated buildings: East, Central and West. Each building takes advantage of its prime positioning on the River Torrens, providing plenty of natural light and panoramic views of the river to deliver a heightened sense of destination.

 

Close proximity to the entertainment, cultural and sport precinct, the Adelaide Convention Centre is a short walk to international and boutique hotels and accommodation. Public transport, the Adelaide Railway Station and a taxi rank are on our doorstep.

The Adelaide International Airport is just seven kilometres from the Adelaide Convention Centre, making it a quick and economic taxi ride.
