Trade exhibition booths

We’re excited to be reintroducing trade exhibition booths at the 2026 State Conference, creating a dedicated space for connection, conversation and business development across the event.

Open to delegates during all conference breaks, the exhibition area gives attendees the opportunity to explore the latest products, services and innovations shaping the civil construction industry. It’s a chance to step beyond the sessions, have meaningful conversations, and discover practical solutions they can take back to their projects and teams.


Interested in exhibiting?

The conference offers direct access to a highly engaged audience of industry professionals, decision-makers and emerging leaders. With consistent foot traffic throughout the program, exhibitors can build brand awareness, generate quality leads and strengthen existing relationships. The format is designed to maximise visibility and interaction.

Exhibition opportunities are still available, but closing soon. Booths start from $3,300 and offer a hassle-free way to showcase your business. We’re partnering with Outstanding Displays, who will manage the artwork, furniture and full booth setup.
