Form & Function is a leading industry trade event for builders, architects, building designers, specifiers, developers, government and industry personnel.

Industry suppliers will showcase the latest products, services and technologies for specification purposes for the building, architecture, construction and design industries. In addition to the exhibition the event will provide a series of educational forums through an exciting and industry focused seminar programme with associated networking opportunities.

Form & Function is held in collaboration with The Royal Australian Institute of Architects, and they will hold their National Conference to coincide with the exhibition. An informative seminar series will also keep the industry up to date with the latest ideas and trends.

Form & Function is co-located with designEX, which is Australia’s premier international commercial and residential design and interior architecture exhibition. In 2008 designEX will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. For more information about designEX 2008 visit the website »
