May 20, 2026

Australia’s Victoria state has secured the 2028 Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition. The 2028 event will run from 12-14 September at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Victoria is the home of land systems capability delivery, and defence industry supports over 29,000 jobs. Each year, the sector generates $10.9 billion in direct annual expenditure. It also generates $1.7 billion in exports and delivers $4.9 billion in GVA benefits across the supply chain.

This event provides Victorian supply chain businesses with access to domestic and international customers. It showcases innovation not only in defence capability, but in medical technology, humanitarian assistance and emergency relief.

The 2024 event featured 995 exhibitors and attracted over 25,600 attendees.

Mr. Colin Brooks, Minister for Defence Industry said “Investing in defence means more jobs for Victorians – and this event keeps that pipeline growing. We are backing the economic opportunities created by Victoria’s defence industry and the 29,000 jobs it supports.”

Mr. Justin Biddings, CEO, AMDA Foundation said: “We look forward to hosting Land Forces in Melbourne in 2028 as a major national event that showcases Australian capability and supports engagement across defence and industry. Land Forces is built to support the Australian Defence Force, particularly the Australian Army, by bringing together the people and expertise needed to deliver for Australia.”
