Integrate 2026 Opens Wednesday: What's On Day One 

The show floor opens at ICC Sydney on 2 September, free to attend, with a full day of sessions from the first morning. 

SYDNEY, 31 August 2026 — Integrate 2026 opens at ICC Sydney this Wednesday 2 September, and day one runs a full programme from the first morning through to the evening. It is the start of three days, with the full programme running through to Friday 4 September. Entry to the show floor is free with registration, and much of what is on offer on Wednesday costs nothing beyond that. 

On the floor 

More than 120 exhibitors fill the show floor across ten technology zones, with names including Barco, Crestron, Logitech, Yamaha, Sennheiser, Epson, Panasonic, Canon, Blackmagic Design, Biamp and Neat. Dedicated demo rooms run alongside the main floor, giving Barco, Microsoft, Bose Professional, Logitech, Harman, Shure, Jands and Biamp room to show their technology in a focused setting. The floor and demo rooms are open to everyone with free show floor registration. 

Free on day one with show floor registration 

• Lunch and Learn: Exploring the Future of AI-Powered Collaboration, sponsored by Microsoft, 1:00 to 1:50pm. Andrew "Higgsy" Higgs and Mehryn Corrigan on how AI is changing the way teams meet and connect. 

• AV User Group Sydney meet-up, a relaxed way for end users to connect with peers and learn about the group. 

• AVIA Awards, presented by AV.technology in conjunction with Integrate, from 5:30pm and open to all attendees. The region's project delivery honours across commercial, government, education, live events, hospitality, worship and community categories, closing day one. 

Ticketed on day one 

The morning opens with the Intelligence Economy panel on where AV now sits in the wider business stack, followed by sessions on intelligent spaces and getting real value from LED. 

The afternoon centrepiece is the AI in AV Mini Conference, 2:00 to 4:00pm. Across two hours it works through where AI is doing real work in AV today, from smarter operations and support to content and experience, and separates practical application from hype. Tickets start at $200 plus GST, and the conference is also included with the All Access Pass. 

"Opening day sets the tone, and this year there is a lot you can do on Wednesday," said Soren Norgaard, Event Director for Integrate. "Walk the floor, see the technology working, sit in on the Microsoft session over lunch, and stay for the AVIA Awards in the evening. If you want to go deeper, the AI Mini Conference is right there in the afternoon. It is a genuinely full day." 

Register 

Show floor registration is free via the Integrate website. Ticketed programme sessions can be added during registration.
