Welcome to the Visual Impact Expo & Connect Conference 2026

The 2026 Visual Impact Expo was held from 2-4 September, 2026 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. The show was been totally reimagined for 2026, consolidating its place as the leading event for the visual communications sector.

The co-located Connect Conference, which launched in 2026, brought together an outstanding cast of leading local and international experts and thought-leaders to provide vital information and insights on economic conditions, industry trends, business leadership and the big issues which can impact the market and create new challenges and opportunities. 

Together, they provided a highly successful channel for exhibitors to market their products and services, and for visitors to see the latest innovations, meet leading suppliers, learn about new technologies and network with like-minded individuals.

For more than 30 years, Visual Impact has been leading the way in providing information and connections to drive success. With a totally reimagined exhibition experience and co-located conference opportunity, Visual Impact Expo & Connect Conference 2026 continued its role as the industry's most valuable in-person event, and the best source of intelligence, ideas and inspiration to help build business success.
