Secure your place at the 2025 Heavy Equipment & Machinery Show to make sure you don’t miss out on this landmark event
The 2025 Heavy Equipment & Machinery Show (HEMS) is returning to the Brisbane Showgrounds from May 15–17, 2025, promising an all-in-one platform for businesses to showcase their innovations and connect with key players in the civil construction industry.
HEMS is one of the fastest-growing construction expos in Australia, and as Queensland’s largest civil-specific event, securing your space at the expo isn’t just an opportunity – it’s a strategic move to elevate your brand in a booming market.
Since its inception in 2019, HEMS has seen exponential growth. Starting with 900 attendees, the event’s strategic partnership with the Brisbane Truck Show in 2021 brought in 3,500 visitors.
By 2023, the show attracted over 5,500 attendees to the Brisbane Showgrounds, cementing its status as a must-attend event on the industry calendar.
With 2025 expected to surpass these numbers, the time to secure your exhibition site is now.
Exhibitor Hastings Deering can attest to the event’s benefits, having had a successful site at HEMS for several years.
“Hastings Deering has been a long-term supporter of the Civil Contractors Federation Queensland Ltd and it’s been great to see a number of our customers and new prospects at HEMS,” Hastings Deering customer support manager Ben Gierke says.
“It’s definitely grown in size and people, and it’s also good to see some families here and new generations of machinery lovers.”
The 2025 expo will once again have fully reciprocal ticketing with the Brisbane Truck Show, free shuttle buses between the two events, and with the ever-popular CCF Queensland State Conference running on the opening day of the show at the same great venue – the Royal International Convention Centre at Brisbane’s Showgrounds.
Gierke is already looking forward to HEMS, saying the previous events have seen a great industry turnout.
“We can’t wait to see you here at HEMS in 2025,” he says.
“We’re not just here with salesmen, we’re here with product specialists and technology specialists, so we’ve got the whole suite of what we can offer our customers.”
