The Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition (QME) will provide local and international suppliers with the opportunity to interact with the Queensland Mining community at the Mackay Showgrounds on the 22 to 24 July 2008.

With at least $25 billion worth of mining, construction and related projects under way or on the drawing board in the Mackay region, visitors to the 2008 exhibition will get a first-hand experience of the booming marketplace.

Reed Exhibitions’ QME 2008 exhibition manager Soren Norgaard said the exhibition will showcase new products, services and displays by suppliers from the region, Queensland, the rest of Australia and overseas.

“QME 2008 will be an opportunity for visitors to see the latest products and services aimed at the mining, energy, construction and agricultural sectors with suppliers anxious to promote their equipment and solutions to this fast-growing market,” he said.

Held every two years, the 2006 QME attracted 480 exhibitors and approximately 10,000 visitors.

This year is set to be even bigger with more than 40 companies on the waiting list to exhibit if space becomes available.
