Enhanced Exhibition Experience for 2025
To maximise engagement and networking opportunities, the APGA has introduced several key improvements designed to draw delegates into the exhibition space, increase face time with exhibitors, and enhance the overall experience:
- Meals & Refreshments in the Exhibition Hall: All morning and afternoon teas, as well as lunches, will be served within the exhibition hall, ensuring ample opportunities for attendees to interact with exhibitors in a relaxed setting.
- Extended Lunch Breaks for Networking: Both lunch breaks have been extended to allow for more time within the exhibition space, giving delegates an unhurried opportunity to explore the stands, connect with exhibitors, and learn about the latest products and services.
- New Interactive Delegate Activity: We’re excited to introduce an engaging activity that will encourage all delegates to explore the exhibition hall, interact with exhibitors, and fully experience everything the hall has to offer. This activity will add an element of fun while fostering new connections.
- Opening Cocktail Reception in the Exhibition Hall: Formal proceedings for the convention begin with a celebratory opening event held directly in the exhibition hall, offering exhibitors and delegates alike the chance to socialise, network, and build rapport from the outset of the event. This is followed by a formal dinner in the Convention centre.
By creating more opportunities for direct interaction between exhibitors and delegates, we’re committed to making the exhibition experience as valuable and engaging as possible
