APPEX will be run by the industry, for the industry: exhibitors, members and key players are all represented, and will have a strong voice in the show’s development

APPMA members enjoy member-only stand rates, representing significant savings

Having the largest showcase of processing and packaging equipment will attract more targeted visitors across all of industry

APPMA will continue to reinvest the exhibition’s profits to further support and develop the processing and packaging industry Australia wide

The MCEC is Australia’s premier venue for holding larger shows in the marketplace

MCEC’s facilities will allow APPEX and Processing & Packaging Week to grow, while still retaining AUSPACK’s renowned experience

Operationally it facilitates easier move-in and move-out for exhibitors

This is the optimal cycle for a large show with more exhibitors and visitors

We can build the experience that industry expects from large international shows

It is a neater flow with other international shows

It facilitates better alignment with developments in new technology

“We had never thought joining APPMA until we learned about these changes. This is a great change for the industry in Australia and one we believe will set future expo’s on an exciting new path”
Tania Carey, General Manager (AUS/NZ)

"It’s exciting to be involved from the inception with the process of creating a new exhibition that will be driven by the industry for the industry. Bring on 2024!!"
