2025 didn’t just arrive—it sprinted through the door, dumped a pile of shows on our desk, and said, “Good luck.”
And we delivered.
From defence to tech, trucking to outdoor activations, we built our way across Australia with the kind of momentum that makes a year feel like three.
Sure, we sprinkled in a few international wins, but this was, without a doubt, a landmark year at home. More runs. Bigger presence. Louder shows. And a whole lot of stands that stopped crowds in their tracks.
The Shows That Made Our Year
Australia gave us the stages, and we showed up with work that punched well above its weight. Defence, transport, space, security, tech—you name it, we were on that floor, building spaces that didn’t just look good, they performed.
ADF Careers’ Nationwide Multi-Show Campaign
The National Run That Proved We Can Cover Australia End-to-End
ADF Careers dominated the recruitment circuit, and we rolled out their national program like a well-oiled machine. More than 16 shows carried the same crisp identity—no wobble, no weak spots.
Layouts that worked intuitively. The flow that made recruiters’ jobs easier. A brand presence that stayed sharp from Darwin to Hobart.
If 2025 taught us anything, it’s this: give us a nation to cover, and we’ll cover it without breaking stride.
Brisbane Truck Show
The Heavy-Hitter That Boosted Our Commercial Clout
BTS came in hot this year, and our five-client lineup was ready for the pressure. PACCAR, Chevron, Cummins, Eaton, and Hella all showed up with stands built to do one thing: pull buyers in and keep them there.
In a hall full of chrome, horsepower, and big spenders, our builds held their own and then some. BTS reminded us why this show is such a big deal, and why execution is everything.
IAC 2025
The Space Showcase Where We Quietly Flexed Hard
Yes, IAC is an international show, but our work here still felt Aussie proudly. Turkish Space Agency, Tasmania’s space cohort, and Yokogawa all needed stands with credibility and clarity, and they got exactly that.
Big conversations. Clean capability stories. Delegations who knew exactly where to walk and what to engage with.
We proved our design holds up, even in a crowd full of rocket scientists.
Indo Pacific 2025
A Defence Classic Where Our Sector Strength Really Showed
Five clients, three intense days, wall-to-wall defence conversations. Austal, Investment NSW, DefenceNT, EPSA × CAT, and QinetiQ gave us serious objectives, and our builds kept the traffic flowing and the conversations meaningful.
This show reinforced our role as one of Australia’s go-to defence exhibition specialists. No fluff, just function, presence, and polish.
Security & Integrate 2025
The Tech Sprint That Expanded Our Influence
Security & Integrate never slows down, but neither do we. Axis, Panasonic, Network Optix, Convergint, AP Tech, Permaconn, TP-Link, Altronics, Geutebrück, and Lightware needed demo-ready, high-visibility spaces, and our designs delivered from open to close.
This show proved our versatility: one event, multiple product categories, zero dip in impact.

Owning the Outdoors in 2025
Turns out, the sun loves us, too. Our outdoor activations gained serious traction this year and pushed our work into new public-facing territory.
Hejaz at The Eid Show
A Cultural Activation with Crowd Magnet Energy
Families, kids, festival-goers—you name it, they were drawn in. Hejaz used the space perfectly, turning financial storytelling into something warm, approachable, and genuinely memorable.
It was a standout moment in our cultural and public engagement work.
The Social Station (Think HQ × Australian Government)
A National Message Delivered in a Friendly, Public-Facing Way
Stay Social, Off Socials needed an accessible platform, and The Social Station nailed it. Clear, open, and built for community interaction, it showed how design can support behaviour change at scale.
Western Sydney University Open Day
A Recruitment Powerhouse in Marquee Form
A 10×20m marquee that nailed visibility, flow, and student engagement. “Choose Western” took centre stage—literally—and the build drove heavy foot traffic all day.
Outdoor recruitment? We’ve got that handled.
A Few International Wins (Just the Sparkly Bits)
We won’t shout too loudly about global work, but we did have a couple of standout moments.
Hunter Amenities
A Design Bible That Travelled Well—Very Well
Our global exhibition design system rolled out across multiple continents, with NoVacancy 2025 serving as the Australian hero piece. It proved how powerful a cohesive design framework can be.
Industry Recognition for Our Team
Stan Kruss at World Expo 2025, Osaka
Our CEO was selected as a judge, an honour that speaks for itself and nudges our name into global experiential design conversations.
Arlly Fonseca at ISE 2025
Two weeks among Europe’s best designers? Yes please. Arlly’s judging role added weight to our creative capability and deepened EC’s international design credibility.
Awards & Accolades
Dematic at CeMAT
The build picked up a finalist nod at Exhibitor Magazine’s Portable Modular Awards and a Bronze at the ExSys Awards. Smart layout, sharp visibility, and modular design done right: that’s what the judges saw, and we’ll happily take it.
Rolling Into 2026 With Bigger Energy
We walked into 2025 with big goals. We’re walking out with a louder name, stronger partnerships, and a body of work that’s impossible to ignore.
The year proved one thing: Australia gives us the stages, and we deliver every time.
If 2025 raised the stakes, 2026 raises the standard. Let’s get to work.
