On Wednesday 27 March, at the MEA Gala Dinner held within Sydney’s Luna Park, ExpoNet were pleased to be awarded the MEA NSW State Award for Exhibition Services!

Accepting the award on behalf of the team was Sydney Business Development Manager, Christine Kotsis.

We are always extremely thankful for industry acknowledgement and recognition such as this from MEA,  as it’s a testament to the hard work, dedication and passion shown by every one of our 200 employees across the east coast of Australia.

This March saw ExpoNet deliver the Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference & Trade Exhibition (APP), for the 16th consecutive year.

First built by ExpoNet in 2004, the event has seen extraordinary growth, continued strong engagement and endorsement from exhibitors and industry.

Held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC), the annual APP Conference & Trade Exhibition attracts thousands of attendees and is the largest pharmacy conference and trade exhibition in Australia.

Over the course of the four day event, attendees are provided with educational programs, networking and social agendas and a trade show showcasing the latest products, services and industry developments.

The team at ExpoNet take great pride in working with the organisers to ensure the exhibitors are continually impressed and presented with the perfect platform to engage and educate, year on year.

Working closely with the organisers, ExpoNet continue to deliver bigger and better feature areas, functional meeting spaces and lounges styled to their themes.

The 2019 event was no exception with the APP engaging ExpoNet across our Exhibitions, Styling/StyleMe and Customs divisions – showcasing our ability to be a turnkey solution.

Furthermore, this year ExpoNet worked with the organisers to create a new outdoor terrace lounge, which hosted their inaugural International Women’s Day lunch and LGBT Networking Function.

ExpoNet AIME’d high with their participation in the Asia Pacific Incentives Meetings Event - AIME 2019, which took place at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 18 to 20 February.

2019 saw ExpoNet showcase their state-of-the-art modular build option, Aluvision – reaching new heights with it’s seamless ability!

Designers, project managers and our experienced account managers worked together to ensure that ExpoNet’s 6x3m custom stand presence created an experience best fit to showcase Aluvision’s built in audio/visual, power and lighting, branding and visual merchandising opportunities.

Lead by Melbourne Business Development Manager, Yulie – the company was extremely proud of the result, with all the advantages of Aluvision on display.

Adding intrigue and showcasing the company’s creative thinking, ExpoNet installed a feature wall full of kids building blocks – which saw the team source 40 bags of blocks to ensure the towering 3.5mH custom wall was filled to the top.

A great conversation starter, the team were able to use this feature installation as a conversational segway into the company tagline ‘Where brands are built’, and how to related to prospective clients.

The team representing ExpoNet met with more than 70 pre-scheduled appointments and passing potentials, proudly showcasing the company capabilities and diverse product/service offering.

Over the course of the event, ExpoNet’s Business Development Managers and representatives dispersed:

Over 500 mints;

100 water bottles;

More than 200 pens;

Over 120 A5 branded journals; and,

The team at ExpoNet is delighted to be celebrating the long lasting relationship with the RCPA. The account and project managers delivering the 2019 event infrastructure are excited to be collaborating on the exhibition design and build for the 15th consecutive year.

Decking out the GIANTS home ground corporate suites at Spotless Stadium, Sydney, with furniture, signage and decor, the ExpoNet team brought the suite to life for the GIANTS corporate partners and sponsors alike in August.

Using innovative and seamless event walling product Aluvision, the team created an environment in the suite that reflected the GIANTS colours of orange and black tones alongside incorporating graphic branding elements and images.

The World Congress of Accountants (WCOA) was held from the 5 - 8th November at the International Convention Centre Sydney. Working in collaboration with Professional Conference Organiser MCI Australia, ExpoNet delivered the design and build of the exhibition, custom exhibition stands, feature areas and signage.

Over 6000 delegates attended WCOA and the event delivered on its promises to connect professional accountants together in one forum where the business program was dedicated to progressing their careers, utilising technology to increase business, sharing knowledge and networking.

Almost 50 exhibitors occupied Hall 1 and 2 at ICC Sydney. The team at ExpoNet was delighted to implement logistic and aesthetic benefits of the new walling system – Aluvision – for multiple custom stand exhibitors. Aluvision’s system significantly reduced the build time of these stands, allowed for seamless designs including curved lines and modern finishes.
