CLA Next Generation Conference 2026 – Building Rural Futures: Leadership, Innovation, Opportunity

Join us on 28 & 29 April 2026 at the beautiful Cripps venue, Thorpe Garden at Thorpe Estate near Tamworth, for the fourth annual CLA Next Generation Conference – the must-attend event for ambitious rural entrepreneurs, landowners, and future leaders.

Building on the success of previous years, this year’s conference promises inspiring keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and practical insights into diversification, resilience, and growth. We are delighted to partner once again with Carter Jonas.

Network with like-minded peers, hear real-life success stories, and discover new opportunities to future-proof your business. From emerging markets and innovative land management to business planning and diversification strategies, the event is packed with ideas to help you thrive in a changing rural landscape.

The conference begins with a very special networking dinner on Tuesday evening, followed by a full day of topical sessions on Wednesday.  Tickets will go on sale mid-February via the CLA website. 

Don’t miss your chance to help shape tomorrow’s rural economy.

Full agenda to follow shortly.
