The Avalon Airshow 2025 soared into action from March 25 to 30 at Avalon Airport, bringing together the global defence and aerospace community for a showcase of cutting-edge technology and innovation. Expo Centric took centre stage, delivering show-stopping exhibition stands for Viasat, Defence Tasmania, and Investment NSW, each designed to command attention, foster engagement, and solidify industry leadership.
Australia’s Premier Aerospace and Defence Event
As the Southern Hemisphere’s leading aviation and defence showcase, Avalon Airshow 2025 attracted industry giants, emerging innovators, and government leaders. Amid the roar of jet engines and groundbreaking tech unveilings, Expo Centric made a lasting impression with immersive, high-performance stands tailored to elevate each client’s brand presence and facilitate valuable business connections.
The Clients
Investment NSW: Powering Connections with a Dual-Impact Presence
Expo Centric worked with Investment NSW to craft a dynamic exhibition experience that showcased the state’s dominance in aviation, defence, and space.
Exhibition Stand
The 12x9m stand featured a sleek reception counter set against a towering backdrop with the NSW logo and an integrated screen. A central engagement zone with bench seating, tables, and a barista counter became a hub for high-value conversations.
A dedicated branded wall displayed up to 19 company logos, reinforcing NSW’s leadership in the defence sector. Eighteen exhibitor stations, each with a branded counter, lockable storage, and seating, ensured a cohesive identity and seamless visitor experience. Two private meeting rooms, each with a screen, offered a secure setting for focused discussions, while a built-in audio system kept the space lively and engaging.
Chalet
Investment NSW also required a premium 10x5m chalet in the Trade & Investment Zone, designed for executive networking and hospitality. Inside, café-style seating for 24 guests fostered meaningful conversations while a fully stocked food and beverage counter ensured a seamless experience.
A discreet storage area maintained a polished, professional atmosphere, while an outdoor terrace—featuring lounge and high-bar seating under large umbrellas—offered a relaxed, high-level networking environment. Thoughtful design touches, such as oak tables and mesh chairs, reinforced the chalet’s refined yet inviting business hub.

Defence Tasmania: Strengthening Ties with Tactical Design
Long a trusted partner of Defence Tasmania, Expo Centric brought that expertise to Avalon Airshow 2025 with a striking 6x6m stand. The design reflected Defence Tasmania’s tactical edge, with a sleek reception desk set against a bold blue backdrop that reinforced its brand identity.
Six branded pods formed a coordinated formation, each equipped with monitors and lockable storage to highlight Tasmania’s leading defence innovators: MADE BY IGNITE, CBG Systems, Currawong Engineering, Jayben Group, Taz Drone Solutions (TDS), and UTAS – Space Capabilities.
The star attraction? TDS’s 100kg payload drone, displayed prominently on a dedicated platform, turning heads and attracting serious industry attention. A semi-private meeting space, framed by a modern wooden panel, created a strategic zone for in-depth discussions while maintaining an open, welcoming flow.
Viasat: Securing the Future with Next-Level Tech
Expo Centric crafted a 6x3m stand for Viasat, embodying the company’s dominance in satellite communications and encryption. The booth’s deep gloss black finish set a sleek, high-tech tone, with the Viasat logo cutting through the darkness like a beacon from orbit.
The centrepiece was a striking L-shaped LED screen, displaying high-resolution satellite visuals alongside the tagline “BEYOND Encryption”, reinforcing Viasat’s global reach and technological superiority.
A curved reception counter, branded with flowing data stream graphics, served as a striking focal point. A dedicated seating area with upholstered grey chairs and a modern round table created a sophisticated space for strategic conversations. Carefully positioned spotlights and ambient lighting heightened the futuristic ambiance, ensuring Viasat’s presence stood out in the competitive satellite communications space.
