Xero Roadshow Australia 2027: dates, venues and how to plan

Xero Roadshow is coming back to Australia in February 2027, and this time it is a capital-city tour. Xero announced the five dates on 9 November 2026: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, each at the city’s main convention centre. Registration, start times and the session list haven’t been published yet. This guide covers what is confirmed, what has changed since the last Australian Roadshow, and how to plan the day so it is worth the time out of your firm.

Here are the five stops, as Xero announced them:

Every stop has its own page on our events calendar, and the Xero Roadshow Australia 2027 series page keeps them together. We’ll add times and booking links to each one as soon as Xero publishes them: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

Xero describes the Roadshow as a day of practical learning, fresh ideas and conversations with peers. Its save-the-date email promises the trends shaping the industry and the Xero products and insights it says are helping define the future of accounting. Its monthly partner round-up adds breakout sessions tailored to your practice and time to connect with other firms.

That is all Xero has said about content so far. The session list, speakers and any CPD hours haven’t been announced, so treat anything more specific you read elsewhere as a guess until Xero’s own event page goes live.

Five cities instead of 17 locations

The 2024 Roadshow visited 17 locations around Australia, including regional centres such as Albury, Cairns, Geelong and the Sunshine Coast, according to Xero’s own Roadshow page. The 2027 tour stops in five capital cities. If your firm is in a regional centre, or in Canberra, Hobart or Darwin, the nearest stop now means a flight or a long drive, and the real cost of attending goes up.

February instead of August and September

The 2024 Roadshow ran in August and September. The 2027 tour runs in February, after the New Zealand leg that Xero ran in October and November 2026, according to Xero’s developer blog. February is a different month in a practice: the Christmas backlog is clearing, and the October to December quarterly BAS is due on 28 February, according to the ATO. Brisbane, on 23 February, lands in that last week. Check your own lodgement program dates with the ATO before you plan around them.

Decide who goes, and why

A Roadshow is a one-day event, so the cost is mostly time: the hours your people are away from client work, plus travel if you are outside a host city. Before you book, write down the one or two things your firm wants from the day. That might be seeing a Xero feature before you roll it out, or meeting two app partners you are already weighing up. A clear reason makes it easier to pick who goes. It is often the person who will have to implement what they see, not only the partner.

Book the date now, the ticket later

Xero says more details, including registration, are coming soon. Put the date for your nearest city in the diaries of the people you want to send now. Then set a reminder to book when registration opens, because venue capacity is fixed and the bigger cities can fill. Our event pages will show the booking link the day Xero publishes it.

Arrive with a shortlist of app partners

App partners usually exhibit at Xero events, and Xero’s developer blog shows exhibitor applications open for the 2026 and 2027 Roadshows. The expo is where most firms get practical value, but only if you arrive knowing what you are looking for. Pick the job you want to fix first, such as practice management, document collection or reporting, then shortlist the tools that do it. The directory of apps that integrate with Xero is a good place to start.

Cover the office before you cover the agenda

If two or three people from a small firm go, someone still has to answer clients and keep February’s work moving. Agree who covers the phones and inbox, and what can wait a day, before anyone books a flight.

As at 10 November 2026, Xero has not published:

• registration or ticket prices;
• start and finish times;
• the session list, speakers or any CPD hours;
• the exhibitor list for the Australian stops.

We’ll update this guide and the event pages as each one lands. For Xero’s bigger annual conference, see our Xerocon guide, and for everything else Xero is doing, the Xero news hub.
