SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR OPPORTUNITIES

15-17 SEPTEMBER, 2026

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre 

Be part of the only event in Australia dedicated to the rendering industry. ARA Symposium 2026 brings renderers, processors, exporters, suppliers, researchers, regulators and industry decision-makers together to connect across the sector.

Under the theme Aligning Industry with Purpose, the Symposium connects science, policy and trade to shape what’s next for Australia’s rendering industry and its supply chain.

Limited sponsor and exhibitor opportunities remain. Secure your place at the centre of industry connection, networking and trade engagement.

Sponsorship Opportunities

A range of sponsorship packages are available to suit different levels of visibility, engagement and budget.

From Gold sponsorship through to targeted activations, each opportunity is designed to give sponsors meaningful exposure before, during and after the event.

Sponsorship opportunities include high-profile company placement, digital and website recognition, social and newsletter promotion, on-site signage, networking activations, exhibition space and access to key industry functions.

Sponsors can align their organisation with key parts of the Symposium experience, including the Trade Hall, Welcome Reception, social functions, delegate services and industry networking spaces.

Exhibitor Opportunities

The trade exhibition is central to the Symposium experience, giving delegates the opportunity to connect with suppliers, service providers and industry partners throughout the event.

Exhibitors are positioned within the broader Symposium environment, allowing for strong delegate engagement during breaks, networking periods and social functions.

This is suited to businesses offering equipment, technology, logistics, engineering, compliance, environmental services, ingredients, advisory services, energy solutions, processing support or other products and services relevant to the rendering industry.

Exhibition spaces are limited and will be allocated according to sponsorship level and availability.

Showcase your innovation

New for ARA Symposium 2026, the Innovation Spotlight is a dedicated feature designed to highlight practical innovations across the rendering supply chain.

If your company has a new product, service, technology or solution to share, the Innovation Spotlight provides a focused way to raise awareness before and during the event.

Innovation Spotlight participants will be promoted in the lead-up to the Symposium through newsletters and social media, and during the event through the Trade Hall and event app. It’s designed to help delegates discover practical innovations that support operations, efficiency, sustainability, compliance or traceability.

$500 + GST add-on for exhibitors and selected sponsors. Included for Platinum and Gold sponsors.
