Organised by the Commercial Vehicle Industry Association of Queensland (CVIAQ) since its inception in 1968, the Brisbane Truck Show is held every two years and attracts approximately 300 exhibitors and up to 40,000 attendees.

As the largest event of its type in the southern hemisphere, the Brisbane Truck Show stands alone as the premier event in Australia for the transport industry showcasing the latest in heavy vehicles, technology, engineering and innovation.

In 2010, CVIAQ made the decision to relocate all future shows to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) to further underline its standing as a world class industry event.

"The time has come to locate to a venue which offers total all-weather protection, the most professional convention and meeting room facilities, and walking distance access to the best hotels and restaurants within Brisbane’s CBD and South Bank precinct." said CVIAQ CEO Brett Wright.

The clear advantages of using the BCEC to host the 2011 show are obvious and compelling:

• Full undercover exhibition facility with the most efficient layout maximizing exhibitor space while reducing the overall footprint. Available exhibition space is comparable with the largest showgrounds but with superior layout and facilities.
• Fully air-conditioned complex.
• Unparalleled exhibitor contractor access and facilities for site construction.
• Dozens of professional meeting, seminar and function rooms to cater from 20 to 2000 people.
• The BCEC provides undercover parking for 1500 vehicles, with direct lift access to the Centre's convention and exhibition facilities. QPAC, Queensland Museum and South Bank car parks offer an additional 1,500 undercover car parks within easy 2 minute walking distance of the venue. The South Brisbane Railway station and Cultural Centre Busway terminal are located immediately behind and adjacent the BCEC and offer unrivalled access for visitors.
• The world famous South Bank precinct located on the banks of the Brisbane River is the ideal hub for the show and the quintessential location for media launches, corporate events, client functions and entertaining featuring attractions such as the Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) and the Queensland Museum and Maritime Museum to name but a few highlights.

The Brisbane Truck Show will occupy Halls 1-4, Great Hall and the Concourse on the lower level of the BCEC (approximately 27,000m² of space), all the Mezzanine level (approximately 3,000m² of space) and all the Plaza level (approximately 5,000m² of space) making the Brisbane Truck Show the biggest event to be held at the BCEC in its fifteen years of operation.
