Australia Wind Energy 2026 (AuWE2026), the country’s largest onshore and offshore wind energy conference and exhibition, will return to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 8–9 July 2026.
Building on five successful years, AuWE2026 will once again serve as a key national platform connecting policymakers, developers, investors, utilities and supply chain partners across Australia’s wind energy industry.
The event is expected to bring together more than 8000 industry professionals and more than 200 exhibitors, offering a comprehensive view of Australia’s rapidly evolving wind-energy market and the opportunities emerging across both onshore and offshore wind developments.
As Australia accelerates its transition towards a low-carbon energy system, AuWE2026 provides a valuable space for industry stakeholders to exchange insights, explore project opportunities and strengthen collaboration across the wind energy value chain.
Exhibition covering the full wind energy ecosystem
The exhibition will showcase technologies, services and solutions spanning the full lifecycle of wind energy projects. Participating organisations represent a diverse cross-section of the industry, including:
- Government agencies, institutions, community organisations and landowners
- Wind turbine manufacturers, EPC contractors and engineering companies
- Component suppliers such as blades, gearboxes, towers, nacelles and bearings
- Electrical systems including generators, power converters and control systems
- Composite materials, fasteners and industrial components
