2026 Soil Science Australia National Conference

Western Australia is hosting the 2026 Soil Science Australia National Conference on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja in Boorloo (Perth), with the theme “Common Ground: Soils for the Anthropocene”. 

The conference will be held 1–5 November 2026 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, following the highly-anticipated Australian Soil Judging Competition which is being held 29–31 October. 

The 2026 conference is expected to convene over 450 attendees and will serve as a platform for a diversity of voices across science, policy, industry and community to explore a mutual understanding of soils as the foundation of productivity, security, community and resilience.
