Education Partner
AgQuip is excited to announce the return of University of New England (UNE) as the inaugural education partner for 2026. For over 70 years UNE has been delivering both on-campus and distance higher education to regional Australia. Bryn Griffiths, Director of Future Students and Engagement said, “UNE is excited to announce this partnership as we are committed to preparing and supporting individuals, communities, and research partners to deliver regional and rural success both in Australia and around the world. Our Alumni are the regional leaders across our country and globally and we continue to be proud of the graduates we produce who choose to live and work in, and contribute to the social and economic sustainability of Regional Australia. We look forward to connecting with them, our existing students and future students at AgQuip 2026”
Strong Interest from Returning Exhibitors
Having launched applications to exhibit at AgQuip 2026 in February, we have received over 400 applications, including 80 applications from new exhibitors, with 40% of the available sites already allocated. This overwhelmingly positive response is proof that companies who want to showcase their products and services to the New South Wales farming community recognise AgQuip as the must attend event. Further information regarding new products and exhibitors will be featured in upcoming newsletters.

AgQuip Break-in
Unfortunately, the AgQuip site was broken into during March, along with some of the neighbouring properties, with considerable damage done to infrastructure, particularly electrical boxes and cabling. The thieves gained entry to the site by cutting fences and forced their way into our buildings and those of some exhibitors. All exhibitors impacted have been contacted by the AgQuip team.
Our security camera footage is assisting police with their investigations and we are looking to increase our “out of event” security to discourage any future occurrences. If you have any questions regarding the break-in please contact the team via email: agquip@austcommunitymedia.com.au.
We look forward to seeing you at AgQuip 2026!
