In preparation for ARBS 2026, CCN previews all the action from the trade show floor.
This includes a roundup of the products to be displayed by international and local manufacturers.
This year ARBS 2026 will feature knowledge hubs, such as the IBTech Pavilion, and product demonstrations.
IBTech is a purpose-built pavilion that connects technology providers with the decision-makers shaping Australia's next generation of buildings.
Exhibitors can showcase products, platforms and solutions that enhance connectivity, efficiency and automation across the built environment.
With a dedicated IBTech Talks Theatre, exhibitors can provide live presentations with direct access to consultants, developers and facility managers looking for practical solutions.
The IBTech Talks Theatre will host daily sessions featuring experts who are reshaping how intelligent buildings are designed and operated.
More than 350 exhibitors will showcase HVACR and building-services innovation including equipment, components, controls, automation, digital engineering solutions and optimised building-performance systems.
On the show floor, ARBS 2026 also introduces a series of dedicated precincts designed to deepen industry knowledge and spotlight emerging innovation.
These precincts sit within the exhibition and provide targeted experiences for professionals looking to explore specific areas.
International Pavilion
The International Pavilion brings together manufacturers and innovators from around the world.
Attendees can compare global HVACR and building-services technologies, discover future-focused equipment, and engage with brands driving international best practice.
Positioned as the sector’s workforce hub, the Education Pavilion connects students, apprentices, educators and employers.
With TAFEs, universities, RTOs and WorldSkills Australia represented, the precinct highlights the training pathways and emerging skills that underpin the industry’s future talent pipeline.
Running across all three days, the Presentation Theatre offers free, live technical sessions from exhibitors (full program on the next page).
These include real-time product testing, system walk-throughs, performance showcases, technical briefings and new product launches, giving attendees hands-on, practical insight into the latest technologies.
