The Avalon Australian International Airshow is the largest aviation, aerospace, and defence event in the Asia-Pacific, attracting global industry leaders, government representatives, and investors. For the NSW Government, it represented more than just an event—it was an opportunity to showcase the state’s leadership in aerospace, defence, and advanced technologies, attract investment, and build strategic relationships to support industry growth.
But with hundreds of exhibitors vying for attention, a strong presence alone wouldn’t cut it. The NSW Government needed a space that didn’t just look the part—it had to drive outcomes. It had to invite engagement, spark meaningful conversations, and leave a lasting impression. That’s where Expo Centric came in.
With a strategic, results-driven approach, Expo Centric designed and delivered an immersive exhibition stand and premium hospitality chalet, ensuring the NSW Government wasn’t just seen at Avalon Airshow 2025—it was experienced, remembered, and sought after.
The Challenge: Making NSW a Must-Visit Destination at Avalon
Amongst a packed show floor featuring major global players, the challenge was clear: create a stand and chalet that positioned NSW as a leader in aerospace and defence while providing an effective platform for co-exhibitors to connect with key partners and investors.
The space needed to enable both structured meetings and informal networking, combining functionality with striking design. It also had to reflect the NSW Government’s brand identity and reinforce its commitment to innovation, investment, and progress.
Expo Centric was tasked with translating these objectives into a high-impact environment that delivered genuine outcomes—beyond aesthetics.
The Stand: A Showcase of NSW Innovation
Expo Centric designed an engagement-led stand that gave the NSW Government and its co-exhibitors the tools to succeed. Every element was crafted to maximise visibility, encourage interaction, and highlight NSW as an industry powerhouse.
At the heart of the stand was a bold, dynamic feature wall—a centrepiece that not only attracted attention but also highlighted the breadth of NSW’s aerospace and defence ecosystem. Rotating logos and digital displays ensured every co-exhibitor had a strong presence, while reinforcing the unified strength of the state’s industry.
The open, intuitive layout created natural visitor flow, from initial discovery to meaningful business discussions. Each co-exhibitor had a dedicated space featuring branded panels, digital screens, and seating—allowing them to stand out while remaining part of a cohesive NSW presence.
Digital integration played a key role, with screens throughout the stand showcasing innovations, industry insights, and investment opportunities. The result? A high-performing space that was as practical as it was impressive.
The Chalet: A Premium Hub for Meaningful Engagement
While the stand drove awareness, the adjacent hospitality chalet was designed to deepen conversations. Expo Centric understood that real business often happens away from the noise—so the chalet offered a sophisticated setting for relationships to flourish.
Inside, a welcoming reception and meeting area accommodated up to 24 guests in a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. A fully serviced food and beverage zone kept guests comfortable and engaged, creating space for extended business discussions.
Outside, the open-air networking zone featured lounge seating, bar tables, and umbrellas—perfect for informal chats and relaxed meetings. Whether it was a brief catch-up or a strategic conversation, the chalet gave NSW stakeholders the space to connect, collaborate, and close deals.
This hospitality-first design wasn’t just about creating a nice space—it was about unlocking real business opportunities through thoughtful, human-centred design.
