HVIA has reviewed the floor plan on all three levels of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre and in particular the ground floor in the main halls. This has been done to optimise the space available and to accommodate heavy vehicle and component manufacturers and suppliers whose products require the floor loading and accessibility that the main halls offer. This may result in some exhibitors displaying product which does not require the floor loading, being relocated to other areas or levels of the show venue and/or having their previously allocated space reduced in size.

HVIA financial members are the only eligible exhibitors to apply for Space Only site locations within the show.

Priority will be given to:
2.1. HVIA members
2.2. Truck and trailer/body manufacturers and suppliers
2.3. Large and/or heavy component and equipment manufacturers and suppliers
2.4. OEM companies which supply to truck manufacturers.
