KBDi Conference + Gala 2026

The 2026 ACFA x KBDi Conference brings together Australia’s design and manufacturing community for two days of insight, connection, and industry-leading ideas.

This is more than a conference. It’s where ideas are challenged, perspectives are expanded, and the future of our industry is shaped—together.

Over two carefully curated days, delegates will gain:

• Fresh global design perspectives
• Practical business and legal insights
• Human-centred design strategies
• Leadership tools for an industry that is rapidly changing
• Meaningful connections with peers, partners, and suppliers

From the Trade Expo floor to the keynote stage—and from gallery tours to the Gala celebration—this is an experience designed to inform, inspire, and connect.
