The Exhibition at the APGA Convention is more than a display of products and services, it is the beating heart of the event. It’s where conversations begin, relationships are built, ideas are exchanged, and the industry comes face-to-face with its future. This year’s exhibition was a standout success, showcasing a remarkable range of technical innovation, professionalism, and presentation quality.
As part of our commitment to recognising the contribution of our exhibitors, APGA is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Exhibition Stand Awards. These awards celebrate not only the design and build quality of the stands, but the level of engagement, technical excellence, and overall presence exhibitors brought to the convention floor.
Pipe Tek took out the 2025 Large Stand Award in recognition of their exceptional effort in creating a dynamic, engaging, and informative presence. Their stand was more than just visually impressive, it became a destination for delegates throughout the exhibition. The gelato just made it that much sweeter…
From technical demonstrations to genuine conversations, Pipe Tek exemplified what it means to use the exhibition space as a platform for industry engagement. Their team was consistently present, approachable, and eager to share their expertise. This level of participation brought energy to the floor and enhanced the experience for all attendees. We are sure a few people walked away with at least one Pipe Tek peak cap.
LMATS Pty Ltd was awarded the 2025 Small Stand Award for their outstanding contribution in the small exhibitor category. Their space may have been more compact, but their impact was anything but.
LMATS made the most of every opportunity to connect with delegates, demonstrate their technology, and contribute to the Convention’s overall sense of discovery and exchange. Their stand was well-considered, informative, and a strong reminder that innovation and influence are not measured in square metres, but in effort and engagement.
The exhibition floor at the APGA Convention is where the industry comes together—literally and figuratively. It is where suppliers meet clients, where operators find new ideas, and where the next generation of pipeliners discovers what’s possible. It’s the informal conversations between sessions, the chance encounters during a coffee break, and the hands-on demonstrations that turn interest into action.
Each year, it’s the exhibitors who make that happen. The quality and commitment shown across the floor in 2025 was exceptional, and we are grateful to every organisation that participated.
To every exhibitor, whether it was your first year or your fifteenth, thank you. Your presence is what gives the exhibition its life. From building stands to briefing staff, transporting equipment to setting up displays, we recognise the effort it takes to prepare for an event like this. That commitment helps shape the quality of the Convention, and it is deeply appreciated.
We also acknowledge the many exhibitors who stayed active and engaged throughout the event, not just in their booths, but as participants across the Convention. This kind of whole-of-event engagement is what elevates the experience for everyone.
The exhibition floor will continue to be a centrepiece of the APGA Convention experience. It’s where technology meets conversation, and where business meets community. In 2026, we look forward to seeing even more creativity, innovation, and industry pride on display.
To our 2025 winners, congratulations. Your effort, presence, and professionalism set a high standard. To all our exhibitors, thank you for being such a vital part of what makes the APGA Convention one of the most anticipated events in the pipeline industry calendar.
We look forward to welcoming you all back next year.
