Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW), hosted by AMTIL, will be held in Brisbane for the first time in 2026. As the nation’s premier showcase for advanced manufacturing, AMW brings together the latest technologies, processes and ideas shaping the future of Australian industry.

Running from Tuesday 12 to Thursday 14 May, AMW 2026 will feature a wide range of precision engineering and smart manufacturing solutions. The exhibition will highlight technologies including CNC machining, robotics, additive manufacturing, software, and more. It is designed to connect professionals, promote innovation and support industry growth.

The event will include six dedicated product zones: Machine Tools, Additive Manufacturing, Robotics and Automation, Welding and Air Technology, the Australian Manufacturers’ Pavilion, and Manufacturing Solutions. A comprehensive speaker program will run alongside the exhibition, offering insights into emerging technologies, industry trends and practical strategies for business development.

“Manufacturing is evolving rapidly across Australia, and Queensland is no exception,” said Lorraine Maxwell, CEO of AMTIL. “Queensland is home to a growing number of innovative manufacturers. AMW 2026 will highlight the strength of this local industry while continuing to serve as a national platform for showcasing excellence in advanced manufacturing.”

The Queensland Government is a major sponsor of AMW 2026, working in partnership with AMTIL to ensure the event reflects the state’s growing capabilities and ambitions in manufacturing.

“We’re proud to host Australia’s leading manufacturing event here in Queensland,” said Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development Deputy Director-General Jason Kidd. “AMW 2026 is a valuable opportunity to connect with a highly engaged national audience of industry leaders, and it represents a strong investment in the continued growth of Queensland’s manufacturing sector.”

“We’re excited to bring AMW to Brisbane for the first time,” said Kim Banks, Exhibition Director at AMTIL. “Each year, AMW connects thousands of professionals from across the country. This move gives us a fantastic opportunity to engage with a new audience while continuing to support the national manufacturing community.”

Whether you are looking to upgrade your capabilities, explore new markets or stay ahead of the curve, AMW 2026 is the place to be.
