Brisbane trade shows

Brisbane’s major trade shows are concentrated at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) in South Brisbane. The calendar here leans industrial: AusRAIL PLUS, ARBSQLD for HVAC&R and building services, and the biennial Brisbane Truck Show, which organisers describe as filling all three levels of the venue.

Heavy-exhibit shows change the brief. Vehicle and machinery stands need floor-loading checks, clear access routes and early move-in slots, while food and hospitality shows prioritise plumbing, refrigeration and sampling counters. Tell the builder which kind of show you are at before design starts.
