EDUtech Australia 2027 Sydney

EDUtech Australia is an education technology conference and trade show run by the events company Terrapinn, which presents it as the largest education conference and exhibition in Australia. The 2027 edition takes place on 9 and 10 June 2027 at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. The audience comes from schools, universities and vocational education and training (VET) providers. The organiser cites 10,000 attendees, 4,000 of them described as decision makers, along with 350 speakers, 320 exhibitors and 50 start-ups. It also points to 150 learning hours and 400 meetings across the two days. Study NSW / Investment NSW is listed as Event Partner, and ACER, Tes and Wonde appear among the platinum sponsors. The conference side has two strands. The Leadership Summit is aimed at school, university, VET and IT leaders, and the role-based journeys for technology heads include cybersecurity and digital transformation. Education in Practice is meant for classroom teachers, business managers and IT administrators. Next to the sessions sits an EdTech expo with no entry fee, where listed exhibitors include Canvas by Instructure, Padlet, Jamf, Open LMS and Schoolbox, plus a Start-up Zone that gives young companies visibility, networking and contact with investors. Entry to the VIP programme is by application, and a Block Party for educators follows the first day. Rebecca Winthrop of the Brookings Institution heads the announced line-up; she co-wrote The Disengaged Teen and leads its Global Task Force on AI in Education. Other names already published include Matt Bower of Macquarie University, UNSW chief information officer Chrissy Burns, Barney Glover AO of the Australian Tertiary Education Commission and Mary-Lou O'Brien of Redlands. A session-by-session agenda was not on the pages reviewed. Prices for the paid conference passes did not appear on the pages reviewed, and the free expo pass is marked as coming soon. Bookings go through Terrapinn's own registration system. For AffHouse readers the fit is narrow. EDUtech is a buying and professional-development event for the education sector rather than a marketing show, and nothing on the published programme covers traffic, performance marketing or media buying. It matters mainly to affiliates and publishers in the edtech and study-help vertical, to networks running offers for learning platforms, and to software vendors selling into schools who want to see which products Australian education buyers are comparing. Teams in other verticals will find little direct value here.
