On behalf of the Funerals Australia National Council, it gives me great pleasure to invite members, industry colleagues and partners to attend the 2027 Funerals Australia International Convention and Expo to be held at the spectacular new Western Sydney Convention Centre (WSCC) from Wednesday 10 March to Saturday 13 March 2027. I also extend a warm invitation to our international colleagues to join us for the 2027 Funerals Australia International Convention and Expo.

As a proud business owner in Penrith, I am especially excited to welcome delegates to one of Australia’s fastest growing and most dynamic regions. The WSCC provides the perfect backdrop for this landmark event — a sophisticated, world-class venue

that reflects the innovation, professionalism and future direction of our industry. It’s proximity to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI), the spectacular blue mountains and easy access to Sydney makes it a unique

and exciting location for this event.

The 2027 International Convention and Expo will deliver a fresh and engaging blend of professional development, industry collaboration and hands-on expo experiences. Bringing together funeral professionals, cemetery and crematorium operators,

suppliers, thought leaders and key stakeholders from across Australia, Europe, USA, Canada, Asia and beyond, this event will showcase the very best of the deathcare profession under one roof.

Delegates can look forward to a comprehensive education program featuring leading industry experts, emerging trends, practical business insights and future-focused discussions that will help shape the ongoing evolution of our profession. Complementing the convention program will be a vibrant industry expo highlighting the latest products, services, technology and innovations transforming funeral service and care and a range of networking and social events designed to foster connection, collaboration, and industry camaraderie. Expect some fun and surprising events!

Importantly, this event reinforces Funerals Australia’s position as the peak voice and most respected professional body representing the funeral industry nationally. Our commitment to advocacy, education, professional standards and supporting

members remains at the heart of everything we do, and the 2027 International Convention and Expo will be a powerful reflection of that leadership.

I take this opportunity to sincerely thank our valued sponsors, exhibitors, National Corporate Partners and supporters whose ongoing commitment helps make events such as this possible.

I also thank Destination NSW for their support of this event.
