We are seeking speakers and workshops to showcase innovative approaches to reducing waste and sustainable living at the Zero Waste Festival.

The Zero Waste Festival (ZWF) aims to highlight and celebrate the efforts of those actively promoting practical ways to reduce waste and rethink how we use materials in everyday life. If you have experience, insights or practical knowledge related to waste reduction, reuse, repair, recycling innovation or low-waste living we would love to hear from you.

The ZWF will be held at Fed Square on Saturday, 12 September 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm. 

Due to the high volume of submissions, submitting a proposal does not guarantee selection. All proposals will be reviewed by the festival team, and applicants will be notified once the selection process is complete.

If you’re interested in exhibiting, please refer to the Exhibitor application form here.

Please note that exhibitor and speaker applications are considered separately.
