The Vietage by Anantara: A Six-Hour Luxury Train Journey Through Vietnam’s Scenic Central Coast

Passenger aboard The Vietage by Anantara,

Image: lamm67/Tripadvisor

There are train journeys where the destination is the main attraction, and then there are journeys where the railway experience becomes one of the highlights of the holiday. The Vietage by Anantara belongs firmly in the second category.

Travelling between Da Nang and Quy Nhon, The Vietage by Anantara transforms a journey through central Vietnam into an elegant travel experience combining spectacular scenery, gourmet dining, attentive service and the unhurried pleasure of rail travel.

The journey takes passengers away from busy cities and into a constantly changing landscape of green countryside, rice fields, rural villages, mountains and Vietnam’s beautiful central coastline. With comfortable seating, a sophisticated onboard atmosphere and carefully curated food and beverages, The Vietage offers a distinctive alternative to travelling by road or flying.

The luxury railway experience has also expanded beyond the original Da Nang to Quy Nhon connection. Anantara currently operates two separate carriages on daily journeys in opposite directions, connecting Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang. The morning service departs Da Nang for Quy Nhon before continuing to Nha Trang, while the afternoon service travels from Nha Trang through Quy Nhon towards Da Nang.

A Luxury Train Journey Through Central Vietnam

The Vietage by Anantara was created to make the journey itself an experience.

The elegant railway carriage accommodates just 12 guests, creating a more intimate atmosphere than a conventional train. Passengers can settle into their seats, enjoy the scenery through the windows and watch rural Vietnam unfold at a leisurely pace.

The current Da Nang to Quy Nhon journey departs Da Nang at approximately 7:55am and arrives in Quy Nhon at around 2:11pm, providing roughly six hours of scenic travel before the carriage continues towards Nha Trang.

Rather than rushing towards the destination, The Vietage encourages passengers to appreciate the changing landscapes of central Vietnam.

As the train moves south, urban surroundings gradually give way to countryside. Green fields, villages, waterways and agricultural landscapes create a constantly changing panorama, while glimpses of traditional rural life provide a fascinating perspective on Vietnam beyond its major tourist centres.

Comfort, Cuisine and Slow Travel

Plate of treats aboard The Vietage by

Anantara Image: 274HadarG/Tripadvisor

The appeal of The Vietage is not simply the scenery.

The experience combines the romance of railway travel with the comforts expected of a luxury journey. Guests can relax in the carriage while hosts serve refreshments and carefully prepared food.

A gourmet meal is an important part of the experience, with Anantara chefs creating menus inspired by Vietnamese flavours and ingredients. The dining experience turns the journey into something closer to a travelling restaurant than a conventional train ride.

For food lovers, dishes featuring local ingredients provide an opportunity to experience Vietnamese cuisine while watching the countryside pass outside the window.

The drinks menu also forms part of the experience, with champagne and other beverages available as passengers settle into the relaxed rhythm of the journey.

Coffee lovers should also look out for Vietnamese coffee specialities. A traditional Vietnamese coconut coffee is an especially memorable choice for travellers wanting to sample one of the country's distinctive coffee creations.

The Scenery Becomes the Entertainment

One of the greatest luxuries aboard The Vietage is simply having time to look outside.

Central Vietnam offers a remarkably varied landscape, and the railway provides a front-row seat to it.

Depending on the season, passengers can see intensely green countryside, sun-drenched agricultural land, waterways, villages and tropical vegetation. Anantara notes that travellers may also encounter scenes of everyday rural life, including water buffalo grazing in fields, birds crossing the landscape and colourful tropical plants.

The slower pace of the train makes these scenes particularly enjoyable.

There is no need to follow a sightseeing schedule or search for a viewpoint. The landscape comes to the passenger, changing naturally as the train moves through the countryside.

For travellers who enjoy photography, the journey provides plenty of opportunities, although the best memories may simply come from putting the camera down and watching Vietnam pass by.

A Journey Connecting Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang

The Vietage by Anantara

The Vietage creates a particularly attractive way to combine several destinations along Vietnam's central coast.

Da Nang is one of Vietnam's major coastal cities and provides a convenient starting point for exploring central Vietnam. From here, The Vietage heads south towards Quy Nhon, a less hectic coastal destination known for its beaches, seafood and relaxed atmosphere.

The journey can then continue onwards towards Nha Trang, one of Vietnam's best-known beach destinations.

The current operating pattern means travellers can plan a multi-stop itinerary around the train, rather than treating it simply as a transfer between two cities.

This makes The Vietage particularly appealing to travellers who enjoy slow travel and want to experience several destinations without spending every travel day in airports or on busy highways.

The Luxury of an Onboard Massage

The Vietage takes the idea of relaxation further with its onboard wellness offering.

A spa area is incorporated into the carriage, allowing passengers to enjoy a massage during the journey.

The opportunity to have a back, neck and shoulder massage while travelling through Vietnam's countryside is an unusual travel experience and perfectly complements the philosophy behind The Vietage.

Rather than arriving at the destination tired from a long journey, passengers can step off the train feeling relaxed and refreshed.

It is an example of how The Vietage turns time spent travelling into time well spent.

Arriving in Quy Nhon

The Vietage by Anantara

The journey's arrival in Quy Nhon provides a rewarding contrast to the experience of leaving Da Nang.

Quy Nhon is a coastal destination on Vietnam's south-central coast that remains considerably quieter than some of the country's better-known beach resorts. Its combination of beaches, seafood, cultural attractions and surrounding countryside makes it an appealing destination for travellers seeking a more relaxed Vietnamese escape.

The Vietage also provides a natural connection to Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, a luxury beachfront resort located approximately 12 kilometres from Quy Nhon city centre. The resort has 25 luxury pool villas overlooking a private cove and offers guests access to beaches, dining, wellness and local experiences.

The resort can arrange transfers between Dieu Tri Railway Station and the property, making it particularly convenient for travellers combining The Vietage with a stay in Quy Nhon.

More Than a Train Ride

The Vietage is part of a broader approach to luxury travel that places as much importance on the journey as the destination.

For modern travellers, this style of slow travel has considerable appeal. Instead of losing several hours to an airport, passengers can enjoy a meal, admire the countryside, relax with a drink, read, chat or simply watch the scenery.

The experience also provides a different perspective on Vietnam.

Visitors often experience the country through its cities, beaches and famous cultural attractions. Travelling by rail provides an opportunity to see the quieter landscapes between those destinations and gain a better appreciation of everyday life outside the major tourist centres.

Planning a Vietage Journey

The Vietage is a premium experience with limited capacity, so advance planning is recommended.

Because the carriages accommodate only 12 guests, availability can be considerably more limited than on conventional railway services. Travellers should confirm the current departure times, availability, fares and inclusions directly with Anantara before making travel arrangements.

Anantara currently confirms daily Vietage services connecting Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang, with different carriages operating in opposite directions.

Travellers should also remember that railway schedules can change. Checking the latest information before departure is particularly important when connecting the train with flights, hotel check-in times or onward tours.

For travellers staying at Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, the resort currently offers packages combining accommodation with The Vietage tickets and transfers to or from Dieu Tri Railway Station.

The Vietage: Where the Journey Becomes the Destination

The Vietage by Anantara

The Vietage by Anantara demonstrates that travelling between destinations can be one of the most memorable parts of a holiday.

From the moment the train leaves Da Nang, the experience unfolds at a leisurely pace. Urban Vietnam gradually gives way to green countryside, villages and agricultural landscapes, while the comforts of the carriage provide an elegant setting from which to watch it all unfold.

Add gourmet dining, Vietnamese coffee, champagne, attentive service and the option of an onboard massage, and a six-hour rail journey becomes a memorable travel experience rather than simply a means of transportation.

For travellers exploring Vietnam's central coast, The Vietage by Anantara offers an appealing combination of luxury, scenery, cuisine and slow travel.

It is a journey designed not merely to get you to Quy Nhon, but to make every kilometre of the journey part of the adventure.

Coral Expeditions Launches New ‘Science and Conservation on the Great Barrier Reef’ Expedition

Coral Expeditions

Coral Expeditions has announced a new 11-night expedition experience, Science and Conservation on the Great Barrier Reef, inviting travellers to explore the world’s largest and most ecologically diverse coral reef system through science, conservation and expert-led discovery. Sailing from Bundaberg to Cairns along a 700 nautical mile journey of the reef aboard Coral Discoverer, the voyage follows the reef’s natural arc from southern coral communities to the tropical north, combining immersive exploration with enriching research projects and conservation experiences.

The journey begins with a two-night pre-voyage land program at NRMA Turtle Sands Nature Resort near Mon Repos at Bundaberg, home to the Australian mainland’s largest population of endangered loggerhead turtles. The experience will provide guests with important context on turtle conservation and reef restoration initiatives before they join the ship. The program includes a Welcome to Country experience from Taribelang Bunda cultural tours, visits to the Mon Repos Turtle Centre and behind-the-scenes access to coral propagation projects in Bundaberg.

Sailing north from Bundaberg, guests will explore the southern reef systems around Lady Elliot Island and Wistari Reef. Extended time at Lady Elliot Island will allow guests to engage with the internationally recognised Project Manta program, which contributes to research on one of the world’s most studied manta ray populations through identification, behavioural observations and photographic records. In these southern sections, guests will also participate in coral monitoring activities and biodiversity surveys that build long-term datasets informing reef management and conservation.

Continuing north through the Whitsundays and central reef region, the voyage visits the lesser explored Cumberland Island group including Scawfell and Brampton Island, then northwards to Magnetic Island and John Brewer Reef. Here, guests will collaborate with community-based citizen science initiatives, assist local groups with data collection, and gain insights into the people and organisations working on the ground to protect the reef. At John Brewer Reef, the itinerary includes time at the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA), highlighting the intersection of art, science and conservation in a world-first underwater installation.

Coral Expeditions

Further along the route, guests will experience outer reef environments at locations including Yamacutta and Thetford Reefs, with opportunities for guided snorkelling, reef health observations and discussions with onboard experts about changing conditions across the Marine Park. The voyage’s final days include a sunset event at Dunk Island and then to Port Douglas for a behind-the-scenes experience at the Forever Reef Project, one of the world’s leading Coral Biobank facilities which stores and propagates coral species for the future.

Coral Expeditions Chief Commercial Officer Jeff Gillies said the new voyage was a natural extension to the company’s long-standing focus on citizen science and conservation on the Great Barrier Reef.

“This new expedition has been designed to help guests see the Great Barrier Reef as a living, working system,” Mr Gillies said. “By travelling the length of the reef, meeting the people who study and protect it, and contributing to genuine research projects along the way, guests gain a deeper understanding of both its beauty and its importance.”

Led by Coral Expeditions experienced Expedition Team together with marine scientists, conservation practitioners and project partners, the voyage combines in-water activities with island exploration, wildlife observation, cultural experiences and land-based conservation projects. The program is expected to feature coral reef specialist Dr Dean Miller among the expert guest lecturers.

The new Science and Conservation on the Great Barrier Reef expedition is scheduled to depart Bundaberg on March 31, 2027, aboard Coral Discoverer, with fares from AU$10,900 per person. Guest numbers are limited to maintain Coral Expeditions hallmark small-ship atmosphere.

AIME Strengthens Leadership Team as Momentum Builds Towards AIME 2027 in Melbourne

Brooke Campbell, Monica Kent-Giles, Silke Calder

The Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) is strengthening its executive leadership team ahead of its 2027 edition in Melbourne, with the appointment of Monica Kent-Giles as AIME Marketing Director and Brooke Campbell as AIME Buyer Engagement Director.

The two senior appointments come as AIME continues to expand its influence across the Asia Pacific business events sector and prepares for AIME 2027, which will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 15 to 17 February 2027.

AIME is Asia Pacific’s largest and longest-running business events exhibition and learning platform, bringing together business event professionals, destinations, convention bureaux, hotels, venues, event suppliers and other industry specialists. For 2027, AIME is targeting more than 25,000 meetings involving more than 800 exhibitors and 1,600 vetted buyers.

New Leadership to Drive AIME 2027 Forward

AIME Event Director Silke Calder, who enters her seventh year leading the AIME team, says the appointments of Kent-Giles and Campbell will add new expertise and perspectives as the event continues to grow.

The expanded leadership structure is designed to further strengthen the quality of connections between exhibitors and buyers while enhancing the overall experience for the international business events community.

AIME has experienced significant growth in recent years. Its 2026 edition welcomed more than 5,000 attendees, more than 765 exhibitors representing 36 countries and territories, and more than 1,500 vetted buyers. More than 25,000 pre-scheduled meetings took place across the two-day trade show.

With this growth comes an increasing need to maintain the quality of the meetings and relationships that sit at the heart of the AIME experience.

Monica Kent-Giles Brings Global Marketing Experience

Monica Kent-Giles joins AIME as Marketing Director, bringing extensive executive experience spanning brand management, internal and external communications, digital marketing and events across the Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and United States markets.

Her career began with the Melbourne Convention Bureau, giving her an early connection to the business events sector. She subsequently held senior marketing positions with News Corp in the United Kingdom and Australia, the Recruitment, Consulting and Staffing Association, Melbourne Airport and PMY Group.

Her combination of marketing, communications and events expertise provides AIME with additional capability as the event seeks to strengthen its profile in international markets.

Having attended AIME over many years, Kent-Giles has experienced first-hand the energy and business opportunities generated by the event.

She says joining the organisation at this stage represents an exciting opportunity to help further elevate AIME's global presence and build on the strong connections the event has established within the business events industry.

Brooke Campbell Takes on Newly Created Buyer Engagement Role

Brooke Campbell, Silke Calder, Monica Kent-Giles

Brooke Campbell joins the AIME leadership team as Buyer Engagement Director in a newly created position focused on strengthening the buyer journey and ensuring AIME continues to attract high-calibre business event planners from important global markets.

Campbell brings more than 20 years of experience across hotels, wholesale, corporate business, events, convention centres and destination bureaux.

Her previous senior roles include Director of Business Events at Experience Gold Coast, Sales Manager for Australia at the New Zealand International Convention Centre and Manager of Associations and Exhibitions at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the home of AIME.

Her experience across different sectors of the business events industry gives her a broad understanding of the needs of both buyers and suppliers.

Campbell says her priority will be to enhance the buyer journey while maintaining AIME's reputation for connecting exhibitors with carefully selected decision-makers who are ready to do business.

This focus is particularly important as AIME continues to grow its hosted buyer and meeting programs. The 2027 event is expected to feature more than 1,600 vetted buyers, 800-plus exhibiting organisations and more than 25,000 planned meetings.

The Buyer Journey Remains at the Heart of AIME

AIME's approach is built around creating meaningful business connections rather than simply providing a traditional exhibition floor.

The event uses human expertise combined with artificial intelligence to match exhibitors and buyers, with exhibitors benefiting from pre-scheduled appointments with carefully vetted buyers. This approach is intended to make meetings more relevant, productive and commercially valuable for participants.

For AIME 2027, the Hosted Buyer Program will again provide a structured pathway for qualified business event professionals to discover destinations, venues, accommodation, event technology, attractions, airlines and other suppliers while developing new business relationships.

The program includes matched meetings, networking opportunities, access to the Hosted Buyers Lounge and educational experiences designed to provide insights into the future of business events.

AIME 2027 Returns to Melbourne in February

AIME 2027 will begin with Knowledge Monday on Monday 15 February, followed by the AIME Welcome Event that evening.

The two-day trade show will take place on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 February at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, with the AIME Ideas Academy on the Floor providing practical insights and educational sessions throughout the exhibition.

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre will once again provide the setting for the event, reinforcing Melbourne's position as one of Australia's leading destinations for conferences, incentives, exhibitions and corporate events.

AIME is owned by the Melbourne Convention Bureau and managed by Talk2 Media & Events, with the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre as its venue partner.

Building the Future of Business Events in Asia Pacific

Brooke Campbell, Silke Calder, Monica Kent-Giles

The appointment of Monica Kent-Giles and Brooke Campbell comes at an important time for AIME.

As business events become increasingly international and planners seek more personalised, productive and measurable connections, the ability to bring the right buyers and suppliers together has become central to the success of industry trade shows.

Kent-Giles' marketing and brand expertise and Campbell's extensive buyer and business events experience provide complementary strengths for AIME as it prepares for its next chapter.

Their appointments also reflect the evolution of AIME from a traditional trade show into a broader business events platform incorporating meetings, education, networking, technology and curated connections.

For exhibitors, buyers and destinations looking towards 2027, the strengthened AIME leadership team signals an ongoing commitment to quality, relevance and meaningful business outcomes.

Melbourne Ready to Welcome the Global Business Events Community

With AIME 2027 scheduled for February, preparations are already well underway for another major gathering of the Asia Pacific business events community.

The event will provide opportunities for destinations, hotels, venues, convention bureaux, airlines, attractions, event technology companies, destination management companies and other suppliers to meet qualified buyers and showcase their products and experiences.

For business event professionals looking for new partnerships, destinations and ideas, AIME 2027 is set to once again provide an important meeting point for the regional and international meetings industry.

With new executive leadership now in place, AIME is preparing to raise the bar once again when the global business events community gathers in Melbourne in February 2027.

The 5 Best Places for Cat Lovers in Los Angeles

The Black Cat | Photo: OpenTable

Los Angeles may be famous for Hollywood, beaches, theme parks and sunshine, but there is another side to the city that will appeal to travellers with a passion for cats.

From historic venues and a larger-than-life lion mascot to a futuristic robotic cat waiter and places supporting feline rescue, Los Angeles offers some wonderfully unexpected experiences for cat lovers.

Whether you are visiting California for International Cat Day on 8 August, National Cat Day on 29 October, or simply because you cannot resist a cat-themed stop on your travels, these five Los Angeles experiences are worth adding to an itinerary.

1) The Black Cat: A Historic Silver Lake Landmark

In the Silver Lake neighbourhood, The Black Cat combines dining, drinks and local history in a venue with an important place in Los Angeles history.

Located on Sunset Boulevard, the venue occupies the site of the original Black Cat bar, which became the focus of a significant LGBTQ+ civil rights demonstration in February 1967.

The peaceful protest followed police raids at The Black Cat and other gay bars in the surrounding area on New Year's Eve. The demonstration is commemorated by a plaque on the building, which identifies the location as the site of what is described as the first documented LGBTQ+ civil rights demonstration in the United States.

In 2008, the City of Los Angeles designated The Black Cat as Historic-Cultural Monument No. 939.

Today, visitors can experience the modern venue while discovering an important chapter in Los Angeles social history.

For travellers interested in combining food, nightlife, architecture and history, The Black Cat provides considerably more than a cat-inspired name.

Address: 3909 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90029, USA
Phone: +1 323 661 6369
Website: www.theblackcatla.com

2) Bailey the Lion: Meet the LA Kings' Feline Mascot

Bailey the Lion | Photo: LA Kings

Cat lovers who prefer their cats considerably larger will find a famous feline at the home of the Los Angeles Kings.

Bailey the Lion is the official mascot of the National Hockey League's LA Kings and has been entertaining 

hockey fans since his introduction in 2007.

Named in honour of Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the Kings' former Director of Pro Scouting, Bailey has become a familiar figure at games and community events.

His jersey number, 72, is a playful reference to the commonly associated Los Angeles temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bailey is more than an entertaining mascot. Through appearances and community activities, he is also connected with the Kings Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the LA Kings.

Visitors attending an LA Kings game at Crypto.com Arena can keep an eye out for Bailey, while organisations can also request mascot appearances for eligible events.

For sports-loving cat enthusiasts, it is an entertaining way to experience one of Los Angeles' best-known professional sports teams.

Address: 1111 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015, USA
Phone: +1 213 742 7216
Website: www.cryptoarena.com

3) BellaBot at Kouraku: When Your Ramen Comes with a Robot Cat

BellaBot | Photo: Kouraku

Little Tokyo provides another surprising experience for cat lovers at Kouraku, a long-established Japanese restaurant known for its ramen and Japanese comfort food.

Kouraku opened in 1976 and has developed a reputation as a Little Tokyo institution. The restaurant has also been described as the first ramen restaurant in the United States.

But the feline attraction here is not a living cat.

BellaBot is a robotic cat waiter that delivers meals to customers on her trays before politely reminding diners to collect their dishes.

The combination of Japanese dining, vintage atmosphere and robot technology makes Kouraku an unusual stop for visitors exploring Little Tokyo.

For travellers fascinated by Japanese popular culture and technology, BellaBot provides a memorable twist on the traditional restaurant experience.

Address: 314 East 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, USA
Phone: +1 213 687 4972
Website: www.kourakula.com

4) Catnip Coalition: Shopping That Helps Cats

In Burbank, Catnip Coalition offers a different kind of feline experience.

The vintage shopping destination brings together independent vendors, with a portion of proceeds supporting cat rescue partners.

The concept combines vintage shopping with a mission to assist cats in need, making it an appealing stop for visitors who enjoy discovering independent businesses while supporting animal welfare.

Cats at the venue can also be part of the experience, with adoptable cats having previously roamed through the vintage marketplace. The resident shop cats, Franklin and Nigel, have already found their permanent homes.

For visitors who enjoy vintage treasures, independent retailers and animal rescue, Catnip Coalition provides an opportunity to shop with a purpose.

Address: 3412 1/2 West Magnolia Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91505, USA
Website: www.catnipcoalition.com

5) Crumbs & Whiskers: Spend Time with Rescue Cats

For travellers wanting a more traditional cat experience, Crumbs & Whiskers on Melrose Avenue offers the opportunity to spend time around cats in a dedicated cat café environment.

The Los Angeles location was created from founder Kanchan Singh's goal of helping shelter cats find permanent homes.

The café works with local rescue organisations and provides a temporary home for cats waiting to be adopted.

Rather than simply visiting a café decorated with pictures of cats, guests can spend time in an environment where real rescue cats are the stars.

Crumbs & Whiskers Los Angeles

The experience is particularly appealing to travellers who would like to support animal welfare while enjoying time with feline companions.

Advance reservations are recommended, and visitors should check the current booking requirements, age restrictions, session lengths and prices before visiting, as these details can change.

A Different Way to Explore Los Angeles

These five destinations demonstrate just how varied a cat-themed Los Angeles itinerary can be.

The Black Cat connects visitors with an important chapter of the city's social history. Bailey the Lion brings feline fun to the world of professional hockey. BellaBot combines Japanese dining with robotics, while Catnip Coalition brings together vintage shopping and cat rescue.

Crumbs & Whiskers, meanwhile, provides the opportunity to interact with cats who are looking for permanent homes.

Together, they offer something considerably different from the usual Los Angeles sightseeing itinerary.

Cat Lovers Can Explore Beyond the Famous Attractions

Los Angeles is a sprawling destination, so visitors should allow plenty of time when combining these experiences with the city's better-known attractions.

The Black Cat is in Silver Lake, Catnip Coalition is in nearby Burbank, Kouraku is in Little Tokyo, Crumbs & Whiskers is on Melrose Avenue and Crypto.com Arena is in Downtown Los Angeles.

Their locations make it possible to incorporate feline-inspired experiences into different parts of a Los Angeles holiday rather than treating them as one single excursion.

A cat-themed itinerary can also be combined with neighbourhood dining, shopping, museums, entertainment and the city's many cultural attractions.

A City with Plenty of Cat Character

Los Angeles has always attracted people with distinctive passions, so perhaps it is no surprise that cat lovers can find their own collection of unusual experiences here.

The city's feline attractions range from historic and cultural landmarks to animal rescue initiatives, professional sport and futuristic technology.

For visitors travelling with a love of cats, these locations provide a fun way to discover a different side of Los Angeles.

And while the city may be associated with movie stars, palm trees and Hollywood glamour, its feline residents and characters prove that there is plenty of room in Los Angeles for a little cat magic too.

Plan Your Cat-Loving Los Angeles Adventure

Travellers should check each venue's official website before visiting for the latest opening hours, admission requirements, reservations, menus and event information.

Some experiences, particularly cat cafés and special mascot appearances, may require advance booking or have age and participation restrictions.

With a little planning, cat lovers can create a unique Los Angeles itinerary combining animal welfare, food, history, sport, shopping and entertainment.

Integrate 2026 Sydney: Your Essential Guide to Making the Most of Australia’s Leading AV Technology Event

Integrate 2026

Sydney is set to become a major meeting place for the audiovisual and technology industries when Integrate 2026 takes over ICC Sydney from 2 to 4 September 2026.

For three days, Integrate will bring together AV professionals, technology specialists, integrators, consultants, IT leaders, manufacturers, distributors and end users to discover the latest developments in audiovisual technology, collaboration, digital signage, live production, broadcast, control systems and connected environments.

With more than 120 exhibitors across ten technology zones, the event offers visitors an opportunity to see emerging technology in action, meet the people behind the products and discover practical ideas that can influence future projects.

Whether you work in professional AV, corporate technology, education, entertainment, live events, broadcasting, digital signage or smart buildings, Integrate 2026 provides plenty of reasons to make room in your Sydney itinerary.

Plan Your Three Days at Integrate 2026

The best way to experience a major technology exhibition is to arrive with a plan.

Integrate 2026 covers a broad AV ecosystem, including professional audio, visual technology, AV systems and integration, digital signage, entertainment technology, unified communications and collaboration, education technology, residential AV and control systems.

Before arriving at ICC Sydney, identify the technologies, brands and solutions most relevant to your work. Then allow time to explore beyond your immediate interests. Some of the most useful discoveries at a trade exhibition can come from an unexpected conversation or a technology being used in a completely different industry.

The official Integrate program also includes dedicated education, conferences, networking opportunities and special events, making it worthwhile to look beyond the main exhibition floor when planning your visit.

Discover the Latest AV Technology on the Show Floor

Axis

The Integrate show floor is designed for visitors who want more than a display of products. It is an opportunity to see technology operating in practical environments and compare different approaches to real-world AV challenges.

Professional audio will be a major attraction, with solutions ranging from installed sound and public address systems to microphones, signal processing, amplifiers and networked audio technologies.

Visitors interested in visual technology can explore digital signage, LED displays, professional screens, content management and interactive solutions. Those working in live entertainment can investigate lighting, staging, LED technology, control systems and atmospheric effects.

For corporate and workplace visitors, unified communications and collaboration technologies provide an opportunity to examine the latest approaches to video conferencing, meeting rooms and hybrid collaboration.

Meet Major Technology Brands and Explore Live Demonstrations

One of the highlights of Integrate 2026 will be the opportunity to meet leading technology companies and experience their latest solutions first-hand.

Axis Communications will showcase professional network audio at Stand HK26, demonstrating applications including public address, background music, zoned audio management and multi-site deployments.

At Stand HP20, Canon will feature imaging and live production technology, including the CN30 x 40 IAS J lens, described in the supplied event information as the only unit currently in Australia. Visitors can also explore Canon PTZ cameras, cinema cameras, RF lenses and broadcast solutions.

Jabra will be at Stand HK2 with demonstrations of its latest video and audio solutions, including the PanaCast Room Kit, PanaCast U30 and new Evolve3 headset range.

Midwich will return to Integrate with solutions covering retail, command and control, digital signage, meeting rooms, premium displays and unified communications.

Crestron will showcase connected workplace, campus, multi-dwelling and smart home solutions at Stand HG6, including Collab Compute, DM NAX Intelligent Audio, Intelligent Video and 80 Series Touch Screens.

Experience Visual Technology at the ULA Group Interactive Gallery

Canon

Visitors with an interest in lighting, LED displays and live entertainment technology should make time for the ULA Group stand at HF37.

The Interactive Gallery will bring together LED display technology, professional lighting, intelligent tracking and atmospheric effects. The showcase includes VuePix Infiled LED solutions and the Australian debut of the MIRAK Series, alongside lighting from Elation and Astera, Follow-Me Delta tracking technology, the ACME Photon fixture and EuroSmoke atmospheric effects.

Rather than simply viewing individual products, the gallery offers visitors the chance to see how multiple technologies can work together to create immersive environments.

See Digital Signage Solutions at Westan

Digital signage continues to play an increasingly important role in retail, corporate communication, public spaces and customer experiences.

Fusion Signage will celebrate ten years as Integrate's Premier Software Partner at the Westan stand HD38. Visitors can explore its latest developments, including Canva integration and multi-screen synchronisation, while learning more about its security credentials and digital signage platform.

For businesses looking to improve the way they manage content across multiple displays, this is an opportunity to explore practical digital signage solutions and discuss real-world requirements with specialists.

Go Beyond the Exhibition Floor in the Demo Rooms

Demo rooms

For visitors who want to see technology working in greater depth, the Integrate Demo Rooms are an essential part of the event.

Located on Level 3 at ICC Sydney, the dedicated rooms provide selected exhibitors with space for exclusive demonstrations and education sessions. Current participants include Barco Systems, Microsoft, Pro AV Solutions, Jands and Shure, Bose Professional, Logitech, Harman, Jands and Meyer, and Biamp.

The demo room format gives visitors an opportunity to move beyond product specifications and see how technologies perform in practical applications.

It is worth checking the latest timetable before arriving, as individual demonstrations operate on different days and the program may change.

Make Time for Integrate and AVIXA Tech Talks

Technology exhibitions are most valuable when they provide insight as well as products, and the Integrate and AVIXA Tech Talks are designed to do exactly that.

Running from 2 to 4 September, the Tech Talks program brings industry experts, global brands and product specialists together for practical sessions covering topics shaping the future of AV. Subjects include artificial intelligence, sustainability, real-time video analysis, networked AV, immersive technology, audio, broadcast, collaboration and the wider business of AV.

With sessions running alongside the exhibition, visitors can combine hands-on product discovery with professional education.

For anyone attending Integrate 2026 for professional development, planning a daily schedule around selected Tech Talks can turn a visit to the exhibition into a valuable learning experience.

Take Advantage of Three Events in One Location

Tech Talks

Another reason to allow plenty of time at ICC Sydney is the co-location of Integrate with the Security Exhibition and Conference and the newly launched Fire Security Expo.

The combination reflects the growing convergence between audiovisual, security, networking and integrated technology. The Security Exhibition is located on Level 4, while Integrate occupies Level 1, giving visitors an opportunity to explore related technology sectors during the same visit.

One Integrate registration provides access across the co-located events, making it possible to broaden your industry perspective without travelling between venues.

Connect, Compare and Ask Questions

A major benefit of attending Integrate 2026 in person is the opportunity to have conversations that are difficult to replicate online.

Use the event to speak directly with manufacturers, distributors, integrators and technology specialists. Ask how products perform in different environments, how systems integrate with existing infrastructure, what support is available and what future developments are expected.

If you are planning a new AV installation, upgrading meeting rooms, developing a digital signage network, improving live production capabilities or investigating networked audio, bring your questions with you.

It is also worth scheduling meetings in advance where possible. A busy exhibition floor can quickly fill your day, so having a shortlist of priority companies and technologies will help ensure you do not miss the conversations that matter most.

Practical Information for Visiting Integrate 2026

Integrate 2026 will be held at ICC Sydney from Wednesday 2 September to Friday 4 September 2026.

Opening hours are Wednesday 2 September from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, Thursday 3 September from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Friday 4 September from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. The venue is ICC Sydney, 14 Darling Drive, Sydney.

ICC Sydney is conveniently located in Darling Harbour. Town Hall Station is approximately a ten-minute walk from the venue, while light rail services provide access to Darling Harbour stops including Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre.

Why Integrate 2026 Should Be on Your Sydney Itinerary

Integrate 2026

Integrate 2026 is more than an AV trade show. It is a meeting point for technology, business, education and professional networking.

For visitors travelling to Sydney, the event provides a concentrated opportunity to discover emerging audiovisual technology, compare solutions, attend industry education sessions, meet technology specialists and explore the connections between AV, IT, security and other integrated systems.

For professionals working across Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, three days at ICC Sydney could provide valuable ideas for the next project, useful industry contacts and a clearer understanding of where audiovisual technology is heading.

So, if you are planning a business trip to Sydney in September, put Integrate 2026 on your itinerary, register ahead of time and prepare to explore a show floor where the latest AV ideas can be seen, heard and experienced.

Ride Through Thailand's Green Season: State Railway Launches Nine Scenic Rainy-Season Rail Adventures

Scenic Rainy-Season Rail Adventures

Thailand is inviting travellers to experience the country's spectacular Green Season from a fresh perspective, with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) unveiling nine special rail tourism journeys operating from July to September. Combining breathtaking scenery, cultural heritage, local traditions and premium rail experiences, these carefully curated itineraries are transforming train travel into one of the most exciting ways to discover the Kingdom.

Whether you are captivated by mountain flowers, historic temples, pristine beaches, UNESCO World Heritage sites or vibrant local communities, the new SRT rail tourism programme offers unforgettable experiences while promoting sustainable travel across Thailand.

A New Era of Rail Tourism in Thailand

The State Railway of Thailand has designed the new rainy-season programme to encourage travellers to explore destinations beyond the country's traditional tourist hotspots.

Running throughout July, August and September, the nine journeys showcase Thailand at one of its most beautiful times of the year, when lush green landscapes, flowing waterfalls and cooler temperatures create ideal conditions for sightseeing.

The initiative supports the Thai Ministry of Transport's vision of expanding rail-based tourism while encouraging visitors to spend more time in regional destinations and contribute directly to local economies.

According to SRT Governor Anan Phonimdang, every journey has been designed to become part of the holiday experience, ensuring that the adventure begins the moment passengers board the train.

Two Iconic Tourism Trains

Scenic Rainy-Season Rail Adventures

The special programmes will be operated by two of Thailand's most popular tourism trains.

The KIHA 183 is a classic Japanese-built diesel railcar renowned for its nostalgic charm and panoramic journeys through some of Thailand's most scenic countryside. It offers travellers an authentic railway experience with comfortable seating and memorable landscapes throughout the journey.

For those seeking additional comfort, the premium SRT Royal Blossom provides luxurious day-trip experiences featuring upgraded interiors, spacious seating and high-quality onboard service. Designed specifically for leisure travellers, the Royal Blossom transforms rail travel into a relaxing and stylish holiday experience.

Six Scenic KIHA 183 Adventures

The KIHA 183 programme includes five overnight journeys and one one-day excursion, each focusing on a different region and travel theme.

The season began with the Pink Blossom Adventure in Chaiyaphum on 18–19 July, where travellers can admire the spectacular Siam tulip fields that bloom across the mountains during the rainy season.

Later in July, the Miracle of Faith Journey visited Saraburi to experience the unique Buddhist tradition of offering Dok Khao Phansa flowers, providing visitors with an authentic cultural experience.

August brings the Sea & Serenity Journey to Prachuap Khiri Khan, combining beautiful beaches, peaceful temples and a rare ordination hall constructed from sugar-palm wood.

Travellers seeking nature and entertainment can enjoy the River Adventure Escape to Kanchanaburi in September, featuring riverside scenery together with a live mini-concert set within the famous Sai Yok district.

The final overnight journey, Dragon Blessing Journey, explores Chonburi with traditional blessing ceremonies and attractions along Thailand's eastern coastline.

For those with limited time, the one-day Mystic Green Escape to Nakhon Nayok includes visits to the revered Luang Pho Pak Daeng temple and a scenic boat cruise through the picturesque Khao Chong Lom reservoir.

Premium Royal Blossom Experiences

Scenic Rainy-Season Rail Adventures

Travellers looking for greater comfort can choose from three exclusive SRT Royal Blossom day trips.

The Royal Blossom Green Escape travels to Saraburi, where visitors can experience landscapes often described as resembling the rolling countryside of New Zealand.

History enthusiasts will enjoy the Royal River of History itinerary to Nakhon Pathom and Kanchanaburi. Highlights include Thailand's tallest stupa at Phra Pathom Chedi, the world-famous Bridge over the River Kwai and several important historical sites linked to the Second World War.

The Royal World Heritage Journey travels to Phetchabun, offering passengers an opportunity to explore ancient civilisations, remarkable cultural heritage and UNESCO-recognised attractions.

Royal Blossom passengers may choose standard Passenger Car seating or reserve an entire Group Car for families and small travel groups. Fares include train travel, air-conditioned transfers, attraction admission fees and food and beverages throughout the day.

Supporting Sustainable Tourism Across Thailand

One of the key objectives of the programme is to encourage environmentally responsible travel while supporting regional communities.

By travelling by rail, visitors reduce road traffic while enjoying a slower and more immersive journey through Thailand's countryside. The itineraries also encourage spending in secondary cities, helping local businesses, restaurants, accommodation providers and cultural attractions benefit directly from tourism.

The Green Season provides an ideal opportunity to discover Thailand's natural beauty, with vibrant landscapes, blooming flowers, flowing rivers and fewer crowds creating memorable travel experiences.

How to Book Your Journey

Bookings for all nine rainy-season rail programmes opened nationwide on 30 June and are available through railway stations across Thailand as well as the State Railway of Thailand's convenient D-Ticket online booking system.

Travellers seeking further information can contact the SRT Customer Service Centre by calling 1690, available 24 hours a day.

Whether you are searching for spectacular mountain scenery, spiritual experiences, coastal escapes or historical discoveries, Thailand's new rainy-season rail journeys offer an inspiring way to experience the country's extraordinary diversity while supporting sustainable tourism and regional development.
