The QMEC trade hall is your chance to explore the people, products and ideas helping to shape music education today. Across the Conference, you’ll meet publishers, music retailers, instrument specialists, technology providers, tour and service organisations, and other industry partners who understand the needs of music educators.

More than a display space, the trade hall is designed as a practical and energising part of your QMEC experience. Drop in between sessions, follow the Conference Passport, take part in Trade Talk sessions, ask questions, compare resources, and discover tools you can take back to your classroom, studio, ensemble or school community.

What you’ll find in the Trade Hall

Explore a broad range of exhibitors and supporters offering resources, services and expertise for music educators, including:

• print music, repertoire and teaching resources
• music technology, digital tools and learning platforms
• instrument suppliers, accessories and specialist advice
• tour, event and service providers
• professional organisations and sector partners
• new ideas to support students, ensembles and music programs.

Whether you arrive with a shopping list, a professional challenge, or simply a sense of curiosity, the trade hall gives you direct access to people who can help you explore what’s possible.

Make the most of your QMEC

Great conference conversations often happen beyond the scheduled program. The trade hall is a natural meeting point where you can speak directly with industry professionals, hear about emerging trends, and connect ideas from the program with practical resources and services.
Plan time to wander, ask questions and follow up with exhibitors whose work aligns with your teaching context. You may find a new repertoire source, a technology solution, a touring opportunity, a classroom resource, or a connection that supports your next project.

Trade Talks

Trade Talk sessions give selected exhibitors the opportunity to share practical insights, product demonstrations, and new developments with delegates. These short presentations are designed to help you learn directly from industry experts and discover resources that may support your music program.
