Waste not, want not: exploring the 2024 Waste Expo Conference

The 2024 Waste Expo Australia event is around the corner, with over 100 industry leaders and speakers set to share insights and encourage discussion around waste and sustainability topics.

The two-day event runs from 23–24 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The expo brings together leaders in waste, recycling, resource recovery and sustainability, providing a platform for discussion and collaboration.

The conference schedule includes an extensive program of industry speakers covering four key streams: Government & Policy; Circular Economy; Construction and Demolition & Commercial and Industrial (CD&CI); and Waste to Energy & Case Studies.

It will feature over 100 speakers across 60 sessions, including TOMRA Cleanaway CEO James Dorney, ALOA Chairman Daniel Fyfe and Return It CEO Marc Churchin.

Over 3000 attendees are expected, including representatives from waste services, landfill, government, consultancy and material recovery facilities.

Waste Expo Australia provides an important opportunity to collaborate with and hear from industry-leading experts across the waste and resource recovery value chain.

Waste Expo Australia Exhibition Manager Sherri Pearson is thrilled to be bringing the expo back for another year. Between the exhibition, conference and networking event, Pearson said there is something for everyone.

“Maintaining the reputation of excellence from previous Waste Expo Australia conferences, we are very fortunate to be joined this year by some fantastic speakers and industry leaders in the waste management sector. We are proud to provide a platform from which people can gain industry insights through case studies and panels.”

“Through the Expo, we hope to encourage thought leadership and progress within the sector while also offering a sourcing platform for business and operational needs, and peer-to-peer networking,” Pearson said.

The conference, trade exhibition and networking function are free to attend, and registration is open now.
