ORAFOL Australia secures Premium Sponsorship of Connect Conference 2026
ORAFOL Australia has announced its Premium Sponsorship of Connect Conference 2026, the industry’s new strategic leadership summit which will run at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, from 2-4 September, alongside Visual Impact Expo. The conference has been purpose-designed to bring industry, marketers and specifiers together to open up dialogue around some of the key issues, challenges and opportunities available through partnership.
Alex McClelland, ORAFOL’s Executive Vice President – Asia Pacific, says: “The focus of this event aligns strongly with our own focus on innovation, partnership and social responsibility. We are fortunate to be part of a dynamic, successful, and constantly evolving industry in which technology, creativity and social responsibility work together to create long-term success.”
“We genuinely believe that a forum like this, is long overdue in our sector, and we are excited to support this new, flagship event. For more than 200 years, ORAFOL has been supporting our sector with solutions which not only drive commercial success, but which are economically, ecologically and socially responsible. So the idea of bringing together industry leaders, business strategists, operational leads, and product specifiers to explore these issues, which are so critical to sustained success, is a great fit for ORAFOL.”
