The Organiser

ETF National Pty Ltd is a joint venture between Exhibitions & Trade Fairs Pty Ltd and National Events Pty Ltd. ETF National Pty Ltd  has unprecedented experience in the development, management and organisation of trade and consumer exhibitions. ETF National Pty Ltd is results focussed and always seeks to provide quality service and creative opportunities for all exhibition clients whether they are partners, sponsors, exhibitors or visitors.

The purpose of the joint venture is to extend the National Tradesman's Expo franchise to the east coast with the Brisbane event in 2006, Melbourne in 2007 and Sydney in 2008.  An annual event, the National Tradesman's Expo started in perth in 2002 with Adelaide following a year later. These trade shows target tradesmen and contractors for tools, trucks and earthmoving equipment, and further enhance Exhibitions & Trade Fairs' and National Events' portfolio of construction based events - the Australian Construction Equipment Expo (ACE) in Melbourne and the Construction & Mining Expo (CME) in Perth.

Exhibitions & Trade Fairs organise many of Australia's largest exhibitions including Irrigation Australia, Auspack, Liquefied Natural Gass Exhibition, National 4x4 Show, and the Australian International Motor Show and our experience is measured by the 500+ successful exhibitions we have organised since 1979.

The biennial Australian Construction Equipment Expo (ACE) presents one of the most extensive showcases of construction and related equipment ever seen in Australia with almost 200 exhibitors and hundreds of brands on display, over 40,000 square metres at Sandown Racecourse. There is a very strong attendance from decision makers from the earthmoving and civil construction industries, as well as from government, quarry, public/municipal works, farmers, hire & rental, demolition and the road sectors.

ACE exhibitors report strong equipment sales as a direct consequence of the Show, which reinforces how effective the exhibition medium is in being able to attract those core buyers, who often postpone their purchasing decisions until the event.
