.

Expressions of interest are now being sought to present at the AVC26 Conference being held over 7-8 May 2026 on the Gold Coast.  It’s the premier event for professional auctioneers and valuers looking to understand the changing nature of the sector.

This is an opportunity to share expertise, research, and insights with Australia’s leading auction and valuation professionals. Whether your focus is innovation, practical strategies, or thought leadership, the AVC26 Conference provides a platform to inspire and inform the sector’s future.

Prospective speakers are encouraged to review the AVC26 Conference Presentation Guidelines available for download below, which outline requirements for originality, professionalism, and presentation materials. These guidelines help ensure a consistent, high-quality program that delivers maximum value for delegates and presenters alike.

If you are passionate about advancing knowledge and supporting professional excellence, we encourage you to complete the expression of interest form that should be returned no later than 30 November 2025. Submissions are assessed as they are received with a response typically available in twenty-one days.

Opportunities to present are limited, and demand is expected to be strong. We invite you to submit your interest early and be part of the AVC26 Conference, an event that celebrates learning, connection, and leadership across the auctioneering and valuation professions.

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.

AVAA Membership – It’s a great time to get involved.
