Cairns, Australia | Mon 31 Aug - Wed 2 Sept | 21st Century Challenges
Welcome to the Clean Air and Environment Conference & the Odour and Air
Emissions Conference - running concurrently in 2026!
These two events remain independent conferences, each with its own identity, scientific program, and sub-themes, yet they share a single venue, a unified registration, and the overarching theme of 21st Century Challenges.
Across three days, delegates will have the freedom to move between all parallel streams, creating a highly connected learning environment. Whether your focus is
climate impacts, air quality science, modelling, public health, or odour management and abatement, this combined event delivers unmatched value, flexibility, and
interdisciplinary exchange.
2026 Conference Theme: 21st Century Challenges
What is your 21st century challenge?
More importantly, what is your 21st century solution?
Clean Air 2026 invites you to explore this thought-provoking
event, where the theme, “21st Century Challenges,” frames a timely and urgent global conversation.
As technological transformation accelerates, cities expand,
industries evolve and climate pressures intensify, the need for bold, practical and collaborative solutions has never been clearer.
This solutions-focused conference brings together air
quality professionals, specialist consultants, government representatives at all levels, regulators, industry suppliers, researchers and academia from around the world.
The international technical program explores cutting-edge
advances in monitoring, emissions management, atmospheric modelling, health impact assessment, policy innovation and emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics.
As CASANZ celebrates 60 years of advancing air quality
science, policy and practice, the 2026 Conference continues this proud legacy of uniting the air quality community to shape the next era of clean air leadership.
Odour & Air Emissions 2026 invites you to delve into one
of the most complex and community-sensitive aspects of air quality management.
This specialised conference provides a focused forum for
advancing the science, regulation and practice of odour and emission control across diverse industries and urban environments. As expectations around environmental performance, transparency and community wellbeing continue to rise, the need for robust assessment methods, innovative technologies and informed policy has never been greater.
Bringing together leading practitioners, researchers, regulators and industry representatives from across Australia, New Zealand and
South East Asia, this technical program explores cutting-edge approaches in odour measurement and monitoring, dispersion modelling, abatement strategies, regulatory frameworks and emerging tools such as artificial intelligence.
Designed to strengthen capability and foster regional collaboration, the conference supports professionals at all stages to better understand, manage and mitigate odour impacts, contributing to healthier communities and more effective environmental outcomes.
