Grow. Promote. Protect. Forum 2026 brings together leaders from Australia’s furnishing, forestry, materials and manufacturing sectors to shape a more sustainable and resilient industry. Hosted by the Australian Furnishing Industry Stewardship Council, Australian Furniture Association and RMIT University, the Forum builds on the momentum of recent Commonwealth and State-funded research projects that have identified key recommendations for industry growth over the next three to five years.

The Forum will explore priorities for implementing these recommendations through collaboration between industry leaders, researchers and policymakers. Featuring panels, discussion and networking, the event will focus on short-, medium- and long-term industry needs, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, circularity and responsible growth.
