Xerocon Australia 2027: likely dates and how to plan your trip

Xero hasn’t announced Xerocon Australia 2027 yet. There is no city, venue or date. But the last three Australian editions follow a clear enough pattern to plan around: a two-day conference in late August or early September, in Sydney or Brisbane, announced months in advance with early-bird tickets that go quickly. This guide sets out what past editions tell you, and how to plan and budget your firm’s trip now so you can book on the day it opens. For the confirmed facts on every Xerocon, our Xerocon guide is updated the day Xero announces anything.

As at 10 November 2026, Xero has not confirmed that Xerocon will run in Australia in 2027. Xero moved Xerocon to what it calls a global format, with editions held in different regions in different years, according to its media release on the change. There was no Australian edition in 2024, Brisbane hosted in 2025, and London and Denver hosted in 2026. If the rotation holds, Australia’s turn comes in 2027.

Here’s when the last three Australian Xerocons ran, from Xero’s own announcements:

The likely window: late August to early September

Two of the three editions opened in the first week of September and one in the last full week of August. The safest window to hold is the last week of August and the first week of September 2027. Xero could still break the pattern, so hold it as a provisional block, not a booking.

The likely city: Sydney or Brisbane

Recent Australian editions have alternated between ICC Sydney and the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. That makes Sydney or Brisbane the likeliest hosts. Nothing Xero has said rules out another city.

When to expect the announcement

Xero announced Xerocon Sydney 2022 in March 2022 and Xerocon Sydney 2023 in December 2022. It announced Xerocon Brisbane 2025 on 4 March 2025, six months before it ran. That is a lead time of six to eight months. For a late-August or early-September 2027 edition, expect news some time in the first half of 2027.

Book early: the early-bird windows are real money

For Xerocon Brisbane 2025, early-bird tickets were 40 per cent off the standard price until 4 March 2025, the day it was announced, then 30 per cent off until 30 April, according to Xero’s blog. If 2027 follows the same structure, the cheapest tickets go within weeks of the announcement. Agree your budget and your attendees before then, so nobody has to wait for sign-off while the discount runs out.

Budget for four costs, not one

The ticket is the smallest decision. A realistic budget for each person covers:

• the ticket, at whichever early-bird or standard price applies when you book;
• travel to the host city, if you are not in it;
• two or three nights’ accommodation near the venue, which fills early in conference weeks;
• two days of billable time away from client work.

The last one is the cost most firms forget. Work out what two days of each attendee’s time is worth to your firm, then decide whether the trip earns it back.

Decide who goes, and what they’re there to do

Xerocon is a two-day mix of product announcements, education sessions and an app-partner expo. Send people with a job to do: the person who runs your Xero setup to see what is changing, and whoever is choosing your next tool to work the expo floor. Before you go, shortlist the apps you want to see in the directory of apps that integrate with Xero.

Plan around your own year

Two days away is two days your clients still need answering. Check what your firm has due in those weeks, and agree who covers clients, before you plan the trip.

Xero Roadshow comes first, in five capital cities in February 2027. It is a one-day event, so it is cheaper to attend. Our Xero Roadshow 2027 guide has the dates and venues.

Everything above about 2027 is reasoned from past editions, not announced by Xero. Xero could skip Australia in 2027, choose another city or move the dates out of the August to September window. It could also change how tickets are priced. We haven’t been able to verify a standard ticket price for Xerocon Brisbane 2025, so this guide gives the discount structure but no dollar figure. As soon as Xero announces Xerocon Australia 2027, the facts on our Xerocon guide will change first, and this guide will follow.

Is there a Xerocon in Australia in 2027?

Probably, but it isn’t confirmed. Xerocon rotates between regions, and Australia’s turn falls in 2027 if the pattern holds. As at 10 November 2026, Xero hasn’t announced a city, venue or dates.

When is Xerocon Australia 2027 likely to be held?

Most likely in late August or early September 2027. The last three Australian editions ran on 7 and 8 September 2022, 23 and 24 August 2023, and 3 and 4 September 2025.

Where will Xerocon Australia 2027 be held?

Xero hasn’t said. Recent Australian editions were at ICC Sydney (2022 and 2023) and the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (2025), so Sydney or Brisbane is likeliest.

When do Xerocon tickets go on sale?

Usually on the day Xero announces the event. For Xerocon Brisbane 2025, tickets opened with the announcement on 4 March 2025 at 40 per cent off, dropping to 30 per cent off until 30 April.

How is Xerocon different from Xero Roadshow?

Xerocon is Xero’s flagship two-day conference, held in one city. Xero Roadshow is a one-day event that tours several cities. The next Roadshow visits five Australian capitals in February 2027.
