Mark your calendar: AIFF 2026, the Australian International Furniture Fair, lands in Melbourne, Australia from 15 July 2026 to 17 July 2026, ready to bring the field together once more. Trade professionals treat it as essential groundwork: a single trip that replaces months of scattered supplier visits. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Expect to join around 10000 attendees over the course of the event. It is staged by Informa Connect, whose experience shows in every detail of the programme. Melbourne Exhibition Centre takes on hosting duties, its layout well suited to crowds and content alike.

Location matters, and Melbourne delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Melbourne is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in Australia is rarely a hassle. Book ahead and you will have your pick of Melbourne's hotels, from the practical to the memorable.

Whether your interest is furniture or wider sourcing, the floor covers Furniture, Furniture Production, Furniture Industry and Home & Interior in depth. The format is built around sourcing and networking, with dedicated space to hold meetings and compare offerings side by side. The exhibitor list runs to 200+ exhibitors, from category leaders to the challengers snapping at their heels.

For the cost of a few days, you get a read on the whole market that no spreadsheet can match. Whether you attend to source, sell, network or follow the latest market developments, AIFF 2026 offers a focused and valuable platform for importers, exporters and trade buyers.

Because hotels near the venue can fill up around the event dates, visitors are advised to arrange travel and accommodation in Melbourne early.
