With less than a month to go, the PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo 2026) is entering its final countdown phase, with exhibitor momentum building rapidly and anticipation surging across industry.
Set to be one of the most significant business and industry gatherings in the region, PNG Expo is bringing together a powerful mix of operators, suppliers, government stakeholders and innovators all under one roof.
Exhibition space is still in high demand, with strong demand continuing through the final stages of sales across infrastructure, energy, mining, construction, logistics, and professional services. With remaining space now extremely limited, final opportunities to exhibit are quickly closing.
