Why Sponsor or Exhibit at the DEA 2026 Conference?

Position your brand at the forefront of the disability employment sector.

The Disability Employment Australia Conference is Australia’s foremost disability employment event, attracting senior leaders, practitioners and academics working in the Disability Employment Services (DES) sector. With the launch of Inclusive Employment Australia, we have a degree of certainty around the principal employment service for people with disability, however there is still so much to discuss, and we expect a high level turnout to next year’s event.

The DEA 2026 Conference boasts informative and engaging keynote speakers, plenary sessions, panel discussions and an impressive variety of expert breakout presentations. Our diverse program ensures delegates receive the most current material from national and international leaders in disability thinking and policy.

The Conference offers a once-a-year opportunity to put your brand at the centre of Australia’s Disability Employment Services sector, as well as the broader community of interest.
