What an exhibition.
Across two very full days at the 2026 APGA Convention & Exhibition in Darwin, the exhibition floor was absolutely buzzing with conversations, demonstrations, introductions, technology, ideas and plenty of industry connection.
A huge congratulations to our two APGA Exhibition Stand Award winners:
Baker Hughes – Best Large Stand
Baker Hughes created an outstanding exhibition presence this year. Their team made the stand welcoming, engaging and genuinely interactive, giving delegates plenty of reasons to stop, ask questions and learn more about their capability.
Congratulations to the entire Baker Hughes team on taking home the 2026 Best Large Stand Award.
PipeServ – Best Small Stand
PipeServ demonstrated that creating a great exhibition presence has very little to do with the size of your footprint and everything to do with what you do with it.
Their team created a welcoming and engaging space, actively connected with delegates throughout the two days and found some very creative ways to draw people into the conversation.
Congratulations to PipeServ on taking home the 2026 Best Small Stand Award.
While there can only be two award winners, these awards were particularly difficult to judge this year because of the extraordinary amount of effort visible right across the hall.
Our exhibitors are a huge part of what makes the APGA Convention & Exhibition what it is.
Behind every stand is an enormous amount of preparation: equipment transported across the country, displays designed and built, technology demonstrated, teams brought to Darwin and countless hours spent preparing to meet and engage with our delegates.
Then, once the doors open, it is the enthusiasm of those teams that brings the exhibition floor to life.
We have received some incredibly positive feedback about the atmosphere and energy in the exhibition this year, and that belongs in large part to our exhibitors. Thank you to every organisation and every person who arrived ready to participate, start conversations, demonstrate what you do, reconnect with old colleagues and welcome new people into your space.
Thank you also to everyone behind the scenes who helped build, coordinate and operate the exhibition. An event of this scale only works because of the considerable effort that takes place before delegates ever walk through the doors.
To all our exhibitors: thank you for the effort, investment and energy you brought to Darwin.
You helped create an exhibition floor that was busy, welcoming and full of the conversations and connections that Convention is all about.
And once again, congratulations to Baker Hughes and PipeServ, our 2026 APGA Exhibition Stand Award winners.
