ORAFOL Australia has announced its Premium Sponsorship of Connect Conference 2026, the industry’s new strategic leadership summit which will run at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, from 2-4 September.
The conference has been purpose-designed to bring industry, marketers and specifiers together to open up dialogue around some of the key issues, challenges and opportunities available through partnership.
This focus aligns closely with ORAFOL’s focus on innovation, partnership and social responsibility, says Alex McClelland, ORAFOL’s Executive Vice President – Asia Pacific.
“We are fortunate to be part of a dynamic, successful, and constantly evolving industry in which technology, creativity and social responsibility work together to create long-term success,” Alex says. “For more than 200 years, ORAFOL has been supporting our sector with solutions which not only drive commercial success, but which are economically, ecologically and socially responsible.
“Bringing together industry leaders, business strategists, operational leads and product specifiers to explore these issues which are so critical to sustained success is at the heart of Connect Conference 2026. We genuinely believe that a forum like this, is long overdue in our sector, and we are excited to support this new, flagship event,” he added.
Connect Conference 2026 will feature local and international experts and thought leaders to tackle topics from leadership and business ethics to the economy, emerging technologies, innovation and sustainability.
These include Tabcorp’s Gillon McLachlan speaking with Matt Aitken from IVE Group; technology leader Steve Vamos; economist and former politician, Dr Craig Emerson; Megan Lilly from Jobs & Skills Australia; EST leader Dr David Cooke; and experts from CSIRO, JC Decaux, Signarama and more.
