COMMERCIAL ATTENDANCE & VENDOR POLICY

Why the EDUtech AU floor feels different

If you noticed a structural shift in the expo floor, it was entirely by design. Starting with our 2026 edition, EDUtech AU introduced a mandatory paid access tier for all non-exhibiting commercial vendors.

By removing free access for non-exhibiting vendors, our attendee numbers now provide a more accurate reflection of genuine education professionals and decision-makers. The result is a more buy-side focused audience, fewer competitors on the expo floor and higher quality conversations for sponsors and exhibitors

The direct impact on your experience

For our exhibitors & sponsors

Your presence represents a serious commitment. This framework filters out commercial solicitation from non-paying competitors on the floor. Every conversation you have features authentic buyers, decision-makers and education professionals, yielding cleaner leads, reduced distractions and maximising your measurable ROI.

For non-exhibiting vendors

The casual expo pass model is retired. For commercial suppliers wanting to access this high-yield ecosystem without taking a booth, a paid pass is your official framework for entry. It provides legitimate, structural access to high-intent leads and networking opportunities alongside key decision-makers.

For educators & buyers

EDUtech remains dedicated to supporting those at the frontlines of education. This policy minimises high-pressure sales pitches in our shared spaces. Educators, school leaders and buyers can comfortably navigate the floor to evaluate tools and attend professional development sessions completely uninterrupted.
