25-30 March 2025
The Avalon Australian International Airshow and Aerospace and Defence Exposition is a global business, defence and aviation event, attracting senior aerospace, defence and civil aviation industry, military and government decision-makers from around the world.
Incorporating an international industry exhibition, aircraft static displays, specialist conference program, VIP delegation to business engagement, networking, careers and skills education and weekend public airshow spectacular, Avalon is the largest event of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
Avalon was created to be a meeting hub, a catalyst for the sort of engagement that creates partnerships and ideas. This week felt like industry has direction and opportunities to pursue, that Australian companies are starting to feel like it is worth stepping forward and investing in capability.
A biennial event, Avalon 2023 broke records across the board.
- Around 248,000 trade and public attendances across the entire six days of the event
- 48,516 industry day attendances (up 24%)
- 794 participating companies (up 14%) from 28 nations
- 281 official delegations (up 50%) from 38 nations including 22 Chiefs and 14 Representatives
- 59 conferences, presentations and symposia
Strongly supported by the Royal Australian Air Force, State Government of Victoria and the City of Greater Geelong, Avalon will next be held at Avalon Airport from 25-30 March 2025.
