Australian Manufacturing Week

AMW is the ultimate event for the advanced manufacturing sector in Australia.

You can see the latest innovations and best practices in manufacturing and:

  • meet industry leaders
  • learn about new technologies
  • discover future trends.

It’s a must-attend event for local manufacturers. Hear about the experiences of previous program participants.

Selected businesses

Selected businesses will have the opportunity to take part in one of two formats.

Rover delegate

Join the delegation as a mobile representative. Engage in networking, meetings, and promotional activities without a fixed stand presence.

Stand exhibitor

Council will select a maximum of 4 businesses to have a dedicated stand within the #TeamMoretonBay pavilion. This will allow you to showcase your products and capabilities during the event.

Businesses selected as stand exhibitors must meet the following requirements. These help ensure a consistent and high-quality experience for all attendees and exhibitors.

  • Have at least one representative present at the stand at all times. Exhibitors must engage with visitors during official event opening hours.
  • A maximum of 2 people is permitted on the stand at any given time. This is due to space constraints within the #TeamMoretonBay pavilion.
