The Bulk Handling Technical Conference & Expo has announced the Australian Bulk Storage & Handling Association (ASBSH) as an association partner for the event.
Bulk Expo 2026 will return to Melbourne on 16 to 17 September at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, bringing together suppliers, operators and decision makers from across Australia.
Under the partnership, ASBSH will help develop the technical conference program, providing industry expertise and specialist insight.
The conference, curated by senior experts from ASBSH, will cover new research, case studies and emerging innovations in bulk materials handling.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Bulk Expo again to shape the technical program,” said ASBSH director Mark Jones.
“This collaboration brings fresh research, practical insights, and innovations from industry and academia to Australia’s bulk-handling professionals, showcasing real-world solutions and fostering idea exchange.
“Bulk Expo remains a vital meeting point, and we look forward to delivering a program that drives smarter design, stronger technical knowledge, and better outcomes across the sector.
“Some of the key conference themes include material-handling challenges, storage and handling, conveying, environmental considerations, transportation, modelling and simulation as well as dust monitoring and control.”
Bulk Expo organisers Prime Creative Media expressed support for the partnership.
“Partnering with ASBSH allows Bulk Expo to deliver a conference program that is truly relevant and valuable to the industry,” said general manager for events at Prime Creative Media Siobhan Rocks.
“The association’s deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities within bulk storage and handling will ensure delegates walk away with actionable insights and strategies to improve operations, efficiency, and safety.”
