TDA Convention 2026
TDA Convention 2026 – Power of TAFE
5–7 May 2026 | Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Join us for TDA Convention 2026 – Power of TAFE, the premier national event celebrating the strength, innovation and impact of TAFE in Australia’s education and training landscape.
The convention kicks off with the Convention Dinner on Tuesday 5 May, followed by two full days of keynote speakers, panels, workshops and networking opportunities on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 May 2026 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. A cocktail networking event will be held on Wednesday 6 May at the Queensland Art Gallery.
Building on the success of previous years — including TDA Convention 2024, which brought together over 590 delegates in Sydney — the 2026 event promises to bring together leaders, educators, policymakers and industry partners to explore the vital role TAFE plays in powering skills, jobs, and innovation for Australia’s future.
