The International Conference on Food Analysis (ICFA) stands as one of Australia’s leading events for professionals shaping the future of food safety, quality, and innovation.
From 24–26 November 2025, Melbourne’s Victoria University City Tower will host three action-packed days of discovery and collaboration. Experts from across science, government, and industry will gather to explore the latest in food analysis, safety standards, and regulatory science — all under one roof.
Attendees can expect thought-provoking keynote sessions, technical presentations, and interactive discussions that span the full spectrum of food science. From cutting-edge analytical techniques to the regulation of emerging contaminants, allergens, and PFAS chemicals, ICFA 2025 will dive deep into the most pressing issues shaping global food systems.
But ICFA is more than a conference, it’s a hub of collaboration and innovation. It brings together researchers, regulators, analytical chemists, and industry leaders, creating opportunities to forge partnerships, share breakthroughs, and influence policy directions that ensure safe, high-quality food for all.
