Ecosure has facilitated and led successful National Flying-fox Forums since 2016, bringing together experts and delegates from local, state and federal government, research institutions, NRM groups, NGOs, wildlife care organisations, conservation groups and industry.

The 2026 National Flying-fox Forum will be held on 20-21 October 2026 in Bendigo, Victoria. The Forum provides a unique opportunity for practitioners, researchers, land managers, policymakers and wildlife professionals to come together to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges and explore innovative approaches to flying-fox management and conservation.

This year’s program features a diverse range of presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshop-style sessions covering the latest research, management practices, community engagement strategies and policy developments from across Australia.

The Forum will be delivered as a hybrid event, with both in-person and online attendance options available, ensuring participants
from across the country can connect, learn and contribute to the conversation.

Join us in Bendigo this October for two days of collaboration, professional development and networking with Australia’s
leading flying-fox experts and practitioners.
