The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) will be participating in the InstallerSHOW Melbourne to be held on 25–26 November 2026.
Co-located with Melbourne Build, InstallerSHOW is a premier trade show designed specifically for HVACR professionals.
The event is held alongside Melbourne Build Expo, The Fire Safety Event Australia, and The Security Event Australia.
Visitors can test new products, attend free live sessions, and learn about the latest industry trends.
The show aims to bring the trade community together to share knowledge.
ARC CEO Mark Lamb said that as the building sector grows, technologies like heat pumps and air conditioning will become even more important.
“As technology and refrigerants change, events like this allow the ARC to talk directly with the industry. It is a great way to promote licensing and support a skilled, safe workforce,” Lamb said.
Attendees can visit the ARC stand Z23, located near the InstallerPLAZA stage to connect with the team regarding the ARCtick licensing scheme, permit conditions and current industry initiatives.
InstallerSHOW Melbourne is free to attend.
Also in attendance at the InstallerSHOW (MCEC) will be Climate Control News editor, Sandra Rossi.
Rossi will be speaking on a panel titled 'Skilled for Success: Tackling the Trades Workforce Challenge'?
Rossi said it will be an opportunity to talk about the issues contributing to HVACR’s critical skills shortage including low apprenticeship completion rates, a lack of industry visibility and the importance of initiatives such as NextGen and the Women in HVACR showcase.
