A free two-day assistive-technology and disability trade expo at Auckland's Due Drop Events Centre, organised by Assistive Technology Suppliers New Zealand (ATSNZ).
The ATSNZ Disability Expo 2026 runs across two days, Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 November 2026, at the Sir Woolf Fischer Arena inside the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau, Auckland. Doors open 8.30am both days, closing at 4.00pm on the Wednesday and 3.00pm on the Thursday. Admission is free, with registration handled online.
The expo is organised by Assistive Technology Suppliers New Zealand (ATSNZ), an industry body that works to advance the public interest in assistive technology and improve the quality of equipment provision. ATSNZ describes the 2026 event as its 7th Expo and, per its own listing, uses it to showcase products and services for the rehabilitation, aged care, home care, and leisure and recreation markets.
ATSNZ positions the expo for people with disability, seniors, carers, and allied health professionals. The organiser states the aim is to educate visitors on the latest advances in assistive technology and related services, with a seminar programme signposted on the event site (sessions not yet published at time of review). A trade and exhibitor side runs alongside, with stand bookings handled via the organiser's prospectus.
The Due Drop Events Centre (formerly Vodafone Events Centre) is a purpose-built exhibition and conference venue at 770 Great South Road in Manukau, South Auckland, close to the Manukau rail and bus interchange and State Highway 20. The Sir Woolf Fischer Arena is its main flat-floor exhibition hall, suited to the booth-and-seminar layout an expo of this kind uses.
The ATSNZ Disability Expo is one of the few recurring national trade exhibitions in New Zealand's disability and assistive-technology sector, and it rotates between main centres (the 2025 edition ran in Christchurch; 2024 and 2026 sit in Auckland). For the directory it is a confirmed, organiser-backed association exhibition anchored to a major purpose-built Auckland venue, making it a reliable fixture for the association-event segment.
