ReGen, Australia’s Resource Recovery Expo, will now take place 16–17 September 2026 at ICC Sydney. Organisers said the move from 22–23 July was shaped by direct feedback from councils, operators and industry partners – and places the event at a time when buying decisions are actively being made.
September isn’t just a new date. It’s better timing.
By September, many councils and operators have moved from planning into active procurement. Budgets are being finalised. Infrastructure decisions are progressing. Supplier shortlists are forming. ReGen meets buyers when they’re ready to act – not just explore.
For exhibitors: Meet buyers when it matters
Day one is built for discovery. You’ll connect with more than 2500 high-intent visitors from across the waste and resource recovery industry – there to explore solutions, hear from experts and benchmark against peers.
Day two is about depth. Meetings continue. Conversations progress. Early discussions turn into commitments. Every package includes a complete turnkey stand build – you arrive ready for conversations, not supplier coordination. For recycling operations managers, procurement leads, resource recovery directors and commercial managers, this is when decisions are made.
For visitors: Practical solutions, not just talk
ReGen 2026 features more than 25 free expert-led sessions across two stages, alongside 100-plus exhibitors showcasing solutions across every material stream.
Hear Environment Protection Authority-aligned policy updates, operational case studies and emerging sector innovations from more than 50 expert voices – then walk the floor and connect directly with the suppliers solving those same challenges. Hear the issue. See the solution. Have the conversation. That’s where insight turns into action.
One platform. Two strategic days
ReGen brings together waste management operators, councils, recyclers, equipment suppliers and circular innovators under one roof. Two focused days. Real conversations. Better timing, by design.
