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.

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.
