Places to Play – From Planning to Participation

Western Australia’s leading aquatic and recreation industry event is back for 2026.

Join us at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on 26–27 August as we bring together the people shaping the future of our pools, facilities, and community spaces.

This year’s theme, Places to Play – From Planning to Participation, follows the full journey of our spaces - from the first idea and design stage, right through to how they come alive in communities and everyday use.

Across two big days, you’ll hear fresh ideas, real-world insights, and practical solutions across 6 focused streams: Operations & Technical, Facility Planning, Recreation & Facility Management, Sport & Recreation, Health and Fitness, and Swim School.

Connect with industry leaders, explore the trade show, discover new products and services, and catch up with peers from across the aquatic and recreation sector.

And of course, don’t miss the ARI Awards on Thursday 27th — a night dedicated to celebrating the people, teams, and facilities making a real difference across our industry.  Dont miss out on tickets - book early on through the Conference registration process.
