The AVC26 Conference over 7-8 May 2026 on the Gold Coast is your chance to be part of Australia’s premier event for professional auctioneers and valuers. Over two dynamic days, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, new skills, and connections that inspire future success.

Hear directly from industry leaders, innovators, and peers who are shaping the profession. Sessions will deliver practical insights and forward-looking strategies designed to strengthen your expertise, boost your confidence, and elevate your professional impact in a changing marketplace.

Beyond the sessions, the AVC26 Conference is about community. Share experiences, exchange ideas, and build relationships that last long after the conference ends. Celebrate the diversity, integrity, and professionalism that define the auctioneering and valuation sectors today.

Places are limited, and demand will be strong. Secure your tickets now to ensure your seat at the AVC26 Conference and be part of an event that advances knowledge, careers, and our profession.  Additional tickets for guests are available for the welcome reception and conference dinner.

The sponsorship opportunities offer businesses unparalleled visibility, credibility, and influence within the auctioneering and valuation sectors. It’s a chance to connect directly with industry leaders, showcase commitment to professional standards, and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond the conference.

The AVC26 Conference is organised by the Auctioneers & Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA), that since 1952 has been the peak body representing professional auctioneers and valuers.  If you have any questions, please contact the AVAA Events team via email at avc26.conference@avaa.com.au or by telephone on 1300 928 165.
