More than an Expo – the Partners Powering FTMA 2026

Thank you to the 2026 FTMA National Conference & Trade Expo Sponsors

 

The 2026 FTMA National Conference & Trade Expo simply would not have been possible without the incredible support of our Partners, Sponsors, and Exhibitors.

Across the two-day event, the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre was transformed into a thriving hub of innovation, collaboration, and industry connection - and at the heart of that was our Trade Expo. 
Behind every trade stand was an enormous amount of work, planning, logistics, and dedication. From transporting equipment and coordinating displays, to setting up stands, engaging with delegates across the event, and then packing everything down again, the effort involved was substantial.

We recognise that for many of our Partners and Exhibitors, participation meant teams of people stepping away from their day-to-day operations to invest their time, energy, and expertise into supporting the frame and truss industry. Their willingness to do so helped create an Expo environment that was vibrant, engaging, and immensely valuable for delegates attending the conference.

 

Importantly, events such as the FTMA National Conference & Trade Expo play a critical role in bringing the sector together. While the frame and truss industry can at times operate in silos - with manufacturers focused on their own businesses, regions, and day-to-day production pressures - this event created a rare opportunity for the industry to connect as one collective community.

 

The addition of the Trade Expo was truly the only event of its kind dedicated specifically to Australia’s frame and truss sector, providing manufacturers with the opportunity to engage directly with the technologies, products, and services being developed by industry partners for their businesses. Beyond the equipment and displays themselves, the Expo fostered conversations, collaborations, and relationships that strengthen the industry as a whole and ensure manufacturers feel connected to the broader future of the sector.

On behalf of FTMA Australia, thank you to every Sponsor, Partner, and Exhibitor who contributed to making the 2026 Conference & Trade Expo such a success. Your support, commitment, and belief in the future of our industry are deeply appreciated. We would not exist without our Partners, we would not be able to drive the sector forward, we would not be able to provide the levels of supports and engagement that we do, without you. 

 

 

At FTMA Australia, we are incredibly proud that our partnerships extend far beyond commercial outcomes alone. In a world where the financial benefits of partnerships can often overshadow broader purpose, FTMA remains firmly committed to aligning with companies that share our values and vision for the future of the industry. Our Partners, Sponsors, and Exhibitors are organisations genuinely striving to drive innovation, environmental responsibility, industry progression, and stronger outcomes for the businesses and people who make up the frame and truss sector. 

Together, we are not only supporting the growth of the industry today, but also helping shape a more sustainable, collaborative, and forward-thinking future for generations to come.

Thank you for making the 2026 FTMA Conference & Trade Expo, unforgettable.
