Welcome

It is that time of year again when we have our sponsorship packages available for the 2026 AADS Conference. Whether you are a supplier, exhibitor, or speaker; the conference is a fantastic platform to promote and discuss your services and products within the diesel industry.

This year our conference takes place over 4 days at the Pullman Albert Park, Melbourne. As in previous years, this conference will consist of workshops, trade exhibitions, plenary sessions and an exciting social program for delegates, partners and families.

The theme for this year; “Fuelling the Future for Collaborative Growth”. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, no single organisation can tackle the challenges of innovation, sustainability, and growth alone. The need for collaboration across sectors has never been more critical. By working together—sharing insights, resources, and expertise—we can drive meaningful change, unlock new opportunities, and build resilient solutions that benefit the entire industry. This event serves as a catalyst for forging strategic partnerships and fostering a spirit of collective progress.
Hosted by the Association of Australasian Diesel Specialists, this year’s conference aims to invite EVERYONE in the industry to come together, discuss, learn, and advise on how we can work more collaboratively as an industry.

We aim to:

• Promote and support the development of the diesel industry across Australia and New Zealand
• To provide training opportunities and promote new technology and advancements to the industry
• Give AADS members the chance to network and develop industry connections

Our conferences and the benefits they provide to our members are not possible without the amazing support of our sponsors. Our sponsorship packages provide a unique marketing opportunity for suppliers to increase their exposure in a niche market directly to their target audience.
