#AusBiggestWeekinBiotech

When and Where Is the AusBiotech International Conference 2026? 

The event takes place at a landmark venue in southeastern Queensland. The full event runs at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, Queensland, from 19 to 23 October 2026. The AusBiotech International Conference itself takes place at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from 21 to 23 October 2026. 

The Gold Coast is a strong choice of host city. The Gold Coast is Australia's fastest-growing economy and a globally recognised destination for lifestyle, tourism, and investment. Known for its iconic beaches and relaxed coastal lifestyle, the city is also emerging as a hub for innovation, research, and advanced industries. 

Attendees can also explore the Griffith Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics, home to 400+ researchers, alongside the Griffith Clinical Trial Unit and other cutting-edge facilities. The Gold Coast's growing biomedical infrastructure makes this Gold Coast conference a fitting choice for the industry's premier gathering.

What Events Make Up Australia's Biggest Week in Biotech?

The full week brings three distinct programmes together in one venue. 

▸ The AusBiotech International Conference, Australia's largest biotechnology conference, runs from 21 to 23 October. 

▸ AusMedtech is Australia's leading medical technology conference and is now also part of Australia's Biggest Week in Biotech. 

▸ AusBiotech Invest is Australia's premier life sciences investment event, moving beyond standard pitch formats to create more commercially relevant engagement through curated discussions, investor perspectives, market insights, company showcases, and one-to-one partnering. 

Delegates can choose to attend for one, two, or three days, with every registrant experiencing both the International Conference and AusMedtech seamlessly. 

What Can Attendees Expect at the 2026 Conference?

The programme is designed to deliver practical value across several areas. 



▸ Cutting-edge insights from industry leaders, a vibrant exhibition showcasing top organisations, and valuable networking with peers and potential partners. 

▸ As part of conference registration, delegates may participate in exclusive site tours of Queensland's cutting-edge biomedical facilities, providing a unique behind-the-scenes look at the state's advanced research, development, and manufacturing capabilities. 

▸ Dedicated business matching through AusPartnering, available for full-price registrants. 

For medical packaging and pharmaceutical packaging suppliers attending the Gold Coast event, the exhibition floor can offer direct access to biotech companies looking for compliant, high-quality packaging partners. . 

Why the AusBiotech International Conference Matters for Packaging Suppliers

The life sciences sector has strict requirements for packaging. Medical device packaging, pharmaceutical blister packs, and sterile procedure trays must meet standards such as TGA, FDA, and ISO 9001 requirements. Conferences like AusBiotech provide a rare setting where packaging suppliers can engage directly with the companies that need these solutions most.

Biotech and medtech companies attending this event may be at different stages of development. Some may be scaling up production for the first time and actively evaluating packaging partners. Others may be looking to update existing designs or source sustainable materials. The exhibition floor at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre can be a practical environment for those conversations to begin.

Queensland's biomedical sector is also growing rapidly, making this a relevant moment for packaging businesses serving the pharmaceutical and medical device markets to strengthen their presence with Gold Coast clients and partners.
