What To Do

Seminar Series

THE Expo features a dedicated seminar area for exhibitors and industry related speakers to share their knowledge, discuss latest technologies and assist in recruiting new members.  A full timetable will be available prior to the event.

Power & Performance Zone

Features the display area where exhibitors demonstrate how their products and equipment work in a live environment and the Trial area where clients are hands-on with the machinery and equipment on display.

Live Drive

Live Drive allows participating truck retailers a unique opportunity to demonstrate their trucks on sealed roads during the event.  Visitors to THE Expo are able to test drive an exhibitors truck on two alternative courses – 8km or 17km.  This allows the test driver the rare opportunity of comparing different brands handling capabilities on the same course on the same day.

Training & Recruitment Village

The Training & Recruitment Village has been established to educate employers, potential employees and students about the availability of genuine career opportunities in transport, heavy equipment and associated industries. We have 12 training and recruitment exhibition sites in this area with a goal of attracting people to the transport, heavy equipment and associated industries.  These exhibitors will also be offered a free seminar spot.
