Get involved

Elevate your organisation’s presence in the business events industry by sponsoring or exhibiting at the Australian Business Events Conference and Awards on November 30 - December 2 2026.

Sponsor

The ABEA 2026 Conference and Awards is where the whole business events industry sits in one room: organisers, venues, suppliers, bureaux, destinations, corporates and associations, together for three days in Adelaide.

This year’s theme, Sharing What Works, sets the tone for four tiers of partnership: Signature, Experience, Vision and Awards, each mapped directly to a moment in the 2026 program rather than a stand in an exhibition hall.

Become an Exhibitor

Our expansive conference areas will showcase a select number of exhibition booths, each designed to enhance your visibility and engagement with attendees. 

There are two types of booths available, positioned inside the ABEA Village. Both offer an ideal space to effectively display your products or network with industry. A booth may feature: a product showcase, service offering, technology innovation, or meeting/networking area.
