The APGA Convention and Exhibition is the largest annual gathering of Australia’s pipeline and gas industry, bringing together the people, organisations, technology and expertise that keep the sector moving.
In 2026, the industry will come together in Darwin, and a complimentary Trade Pass provides a valuable opportunity to be part of it.
Trade Pass holders can access the exhibition floor at the Darwin Convention Centre on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 September 2026, connecting directly with exhibitors, industry professionals and organisations from across the pipeline and gas sector.
For those working in operations, engineering, procurement, construction, project delivery, supply chain, business development or related industries, the exhibition provides a practical and accessible way to engage with the national industry in one place.
See the industry up close
The exhibition floor is one of the busiest and most valuable parts of the APGA Convention.
Across two days, leading suppliers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, technology providers and specialist service organisations will showcase the products, services and capabilities supporting pipeline infrastructure across Australia.
A Trade Pass gives you the opportunity to:
- Meet suppliers and technical specialists face-to-face
- Explore new equipment, technology and industry solutions
- Compare products, services and organisational capabilities
- Discuss operational and project challenges with industry experts
- Reconnect with existing contacts and establish new relationships
- Gain a broader understanding of the organisations working across the sector
It is a chance to move beyond websites, brochures and emails and speak directly with the people behind the technology and services used throughout the industry.
Whether you are investigating a particular product, looking for new suppliers, supporting a current project or simply seeking a stronger understanding of the sector, the exhibition floor offers significant value.
A valuable opportunity for local industry
For professionals based in Darwin and across the Northern Territory, the 2026 APGA Convention presents a rare opportunity to connect with a national industry audience without travelling interstate.
The exhibition will bring organisations and industry specialists from across Australia directly to Darwin, creating an ideal environment for local businesses, government representatives, engineers, contractors, project personnel and emerging professionals to build relationships and explore new opportunities.
It is also an excellent opportunity to bring colleagues who may not have attended an APGA event before.
Introduce someone new to the pipeline industry. Encourage members of your operations, engineering or procurement team to attend. Invite an emerging professional to experience the scale, capability and diversity of the sector.
The more people who step onto the exhibition floor, the stronger the conversations and connections become.
Be part of the industry conversation
The pipeline and gas industry is built on collaboration.
Owners, operators, engineers, contractors, suppliers, regulators, researchers and service providers all play a role in delivering safe, reliable and efficient infrastructure.
The APGA Exhibition brings these groups together in an environment designed to support conversation and connection.
Some discussions may begin with a product demonstration or a question about a service. Others may start through a chance introduction or a conversation with someone you have not seen for several years.
These interactions are where relationships are strengthened, knowledge is shared and new opportunities begin.
The value of the exhibition is not only in what is displayed on each stand. It is in the access it provides to the people and expertise behind the industry.
Experience more of Convention
A Trade Pass delivers substantial value, providing complimentary access to two full days of exhibition activity and direct engagement with the organisations supporting the pipeline and gas sector.
For those looking to expand the experience further, a full delegate registration provides access to the complete APGA Convention program.
Full delegates can participate in technical presentations, panel discussions, keynote sessions, industry networking and the full program of Convention functions and activities.
The technical program provides deeper insight into the operational, engineering, regulatory and strategic issues shaping the sector, while the broader networking program creates even more opportunities to connect with industry leaders and professionals from across Australia.
The Trade Pass is an excellent way to step into the Convention environment. For those who want the complete experience, upgrading to a full delegate registration opens the door to everything the event has to offer.
