The-Arc Exhibitions

The Arc Agency offers three complimentary services: Product Updates (regular in-person updates tailored to your current projects), Lunch & Learn CPD presentations (learning sessions delivered at your office by expert suppliers), and Events (The-Arc exhibitions where you can meet suppliers, network with peers, and discover products in landmark venues).  

We run a range of events to suit different needs and schedules — The-Arc Networking Exhibitions (large-scale evenings in landmark venues with a curated showcase of products), Formal CPD Days (back-to-back webinar presentations that meet National Standard of Competency guidelines), Showroom Tours (hands-on visits to supplier showrooms), and Product Launches (first-look events when new products hit the market). 

No — all events are complimentary for architects and designers. There are no ticket fees, no registration costs, and no obligations. Simply join our community and you will receive invitations to upcoming events in your city. 

Our dedicated CPD Days are specifically structured to meet formal CPD requirements, with back-to-back presentations aligned to National Standard of Competency guidelines. The-Arc Networking Exhibitions are a great opportunity for industry learning and product discovery, though we recommend checking the details of each event listing to confirm CPD accreditation where applicable. 

The-Arc Networking Exhibitions are large-scale evening events held in landmark venues, where you can browse a curated showcase of suppliers, network with peers, and enjoy great food and drinks. Showroom Tours are more intimate and hands-on — you visit a supplier's showroom or facility directly, with on-site demonstrations and in-depth product education delivered by the people who know the product best. Both are complimentary and great for informing specification decisions. 

A CPD Lunch & Learn is a catered presentation session delivered directly at your practice or online. We coordinate everything — scheduling, catering (for face-to-face only) — so your team can focus on learning. You can also request breakfast or late afternoon sessions if that works better for your team.

Select a CPD available in your state: Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia or Western Australia.

Yes. For firms based outside major metro areas — or simply for teams that prefer a virtual format — The Arc Agency can arrange online CPD Lunch & Learn sessions. This is particularly valuable for firms in regional locations who want regular access to product knowledge and CPD learning without the need to travel.

All upcoming events are listed in the A&D Events Calendar on our website, where you can register your interest for specific events.

The easiest way to stay across everything is to join our community and fill in the contact form — once you're in, you'll receive invitations directly to your inbox as new events are announced in your city.

The-Arc Events are flagship industry exhibitions held in iconic venues across Australia. They're a great opportunity to discover products in person, build relationships with suppliers, and network with peers from across the architecture and design community. Any firm is welcome to attend — just check the A&D Events Calendar on our website to register for upcoming events in your city.  

Great — that's exactly what The-Arc events and CPD sessions are designed for. Suppliers and presenting brands attend in person, so you've likely already made a direct connection on the night or during the session. If you'd like a formal introduction, samples, or further information, reach out to our team and we'll facilitate the next step for you.

If you're looking for a specific product, material, or supplier and aren't sure where to start, we can help. Submit a request through our website and let us know what you're looking for — product type, application, finish, or any other relevant details — and we'll send through a curated list of options from our supplier network.
