Registration is open for attendees to the 2026 AFTA Tackle Show, being staged in Brisbane, Australia in mid-August and forecast to be the largest and most vibrant yet.

The annual event unites people, brands and businesses that advance Australia’s recreational fishing industry and this year’s show is especially important as it represents a significant development with its relocation to a new venue.

Presented by Let’s Fish Australia, the AFTA Tackle Show will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre over three days, from August 20^th to 22^nd.

It is designed to offer wholesalers and retailers an enhanced platform for engagement beyond traditional retail spaces. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with both established and emerging suppliers, review innovative products, and explore past favourites, all within a centralised location.

Trade days are restricted to AFTA members and AFTA’s invited guests while the final, public day is open to everyone. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and age verification may be required. Public day registration will open next month.
AFTA members receive complimentary entry to the show. To register free of charge, retail and media members should use the link sent via email or access it through the AFTA Member Portal. Exhibitors can register using the link found on the Exhibitor Portal.

Non-members must pay $150 per ticket and provide a written invitation from an AFTA member. All attendees must complete pre-registration before the event.
