Architects and designers in Australia have a wide range of events occurring in 2026. From networking events, opportunities for learning and even some socialising, the calendar is shaping up to be a varied and interesting mix of events.
Australia’s architecture and design calendar is stronger than ever. From Sydney’s mega expos to Melbourne’s celebrated design week and intimate open house programs across multiple cities, 2026 offers world-class events for architects, interior designers, and design enthusiasts. Here are seven you should have in your calendar.
Sydney Build Expo
