The 2025 event will be held on Sunday, 3, and Monday, 4 August 2025, at the Showgrounds in the heart of Hamilton, regional Victoria—the epicentre of the pastoral and agricultural industry for over 160 years.

For generations, the event has been a source of great traditions and childhood memories. It brings together the top stakeholders within the industry to showcase a vast array of products and services.

In addition to showcasing new technology, Sheepvention features an inventions competition highlighting some of the most creative and inventive ideas from entrepreneurs and inventors.
