B3 Conference – Celebrating 20 years of B3

Kia Ora - Nau Mai Haere Mai!

New Zealand has a world-class biosecurity system, due to a dedicated and well-connected community of scientists, industry and government regulatory bodies, community groups and individuals. This community is crucial to ensuring our biosecurity system is ready to meet the predictable and unpredictable challenges of the future.

This year’s B3 conference brings the community together from the 15 to 16 July 2025 to celebrate 20 years of B3 research and to share the latest information from biosecurity research in New Zealand and Australia.

The biannual conference will be held in Te Papa, Wellington and will feature key members of the original FRST research programme that led to B3 being established, along with talks from across B3, Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative (PBRI) Australia, industry and government agencies.
