ARBSQLD returns to Brisbane in 2027

Queensland’s air conditioning, refrigeration and building services exhibition — ARBSQLD — is being held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on 2–3 June 2027. Exhibitor bookings are open now and visitor registration will be opening closer to the event.

The event is designed to bring together the people who design, supply, install and maintain the systems that heat, cool and ventilate buildings, from air conditioning and refrigeration through to controls, ductwork, plumbing and building automation. The 2027 program will see a packed exhibition hall with all the latest gear; exhibitors will be able to run pre-booked 20-minute training sessions on their own stands and the Tech Talks program is returning, alongside a leadership summit and site tours.

“Workforce and skills shortages are consistently rated the number one challenge facing the industry nationally. Queensland has a huge construction pipeline and an estimated 40,000 workforce shortfall,” said ARBS CEO Amanda Searle. “Queensland has its own market, its own projects and its own contractors. ARBSQLD brings the supply chain to them. For most people who came in 2025, it was the first time they’d been able to attend an ARBS. Queensland is too important not to have a dedicated HVAC&R event.”

The ARBSQLD Leadership Summit will run on 1 and 2 June and will bring together senior leaders from across the HVAC&R and building services sector. “The 1.5-day program will combine thought provoking keynote presentations, interactive roundtables, leadership discussions and valuable networking opportunities, creating a forum to explore the key challenges, opportunities and emerging trends shaping the future of the industry,” Searle said.
