Electronex 2026 in Sydney: Rosehill Gardens Event Centre, 3rd & 4th June
Following the outstanding success
of last May’s Electronex Electronics
Design and Assembly Expo held in
Melbourne, Electronex 2026 Sydney
has generated a strong response, with
over 85% of exhibition space already
booked.
The 2026 Expo will take place at
Rosehill Gardens Event Centre, Sydney, on the 3rd and 4th of June 2026,
in conjunction with the annual Surface
Mount and Circuit Board Association
(SMCBA) conference.
The Melbourne show, staged alongside National Manufacturing Week
(NMW), attracted a record number
of engineers, managers and senior
decision-makers from across the manufacturing and electronics industries.
With 85 stands representing more than
100 companies, it was the largest Electronex held to date.
More than 250 exhibiting staff also
took part in valuable networking
opportunities, including the popular
Exhibitor Networking Function.
Visitor numbers were around 15%
higher than Electronex 2023 (the last
time it was held in Melbourne), and
exhibitors were delighted with the
quality of enquiries.
Face-to-face contact remains invaluable for discussing technical requirements and discovering new technologies in this vital high-tech manufacturing sector.

and firmly established as Australia’s premier event for the electronics
industry.
Strong visitor engagement &
industry support
The Melbourne Expo drew around

conference featured a stellar lineup
of local and international speakers,
offering deep insights into current and
emerging technologies.
A post-show visitor survey reinforced the event’s value. 75% of
attendees were directly involved in
purchasing, specifying, or recommending products. 93% discovered
new companies, while 85% discovered new products or technologies.
97% said that a dedicated event such
as Electronex is beneficial to their
industry.
Notably, 56% were first-time visitors, and many long-term exhibitors
reported that it was one of the most
successful events they had attended.
Competitions and technical
highlights
The free on-floor seminars were also
well attended, giving exhibitors a platform to present the latest innovations
