AUSJET24 will take place at the Melbourne Showgrounds on 23—24 October.
The AUSJET Technology Exhibition and Conference 2024 (AUSJET24) returns this year, showcasing best-in-class on the water jetting, drain cleaning and vacuum technologies scene.
Presented by the Australasian High Pressure Water Jetting Association and Expertise Events, the two-day event will bring together manufacturers, suppliers, and contractors in the space to network with other professionals and exhibit and test-drive the latest products.
A hands-on experience
AUSJET24 features a live demonstration arena, providing attendees with an opportunity to see equipment in action.
The arena was a huge hit at the previous AUSJET22. Impressive pump demonstrations from WOMA Australia and Hammelmann exhibited a variety of applications from pipe and drain cleaning to stripping paint, with the crew from THRC showing more water jetting technology, as well as the latest in personal protective equipment to keep crew safe during manual operations.
“The demo arena was a big stand-out in 2022 as attendees were able to see different companies and products in a range of applications,” Expertise Events managing director Gary Fitz-Roy told Trenchless Australasia.
“This year, we’ve expanded the event to include a robotics and drone tech arena for the latest cutting-edge technology and applications.”
The event will also feature conference sessions and exhibitor floor talks, which are free to attend and touch on important industry topics and innovations.
A high calibre guestlist
The last AUSJET event attracted over 700 delegates, a figure which Fitz-Roy is confident will be topped this year. As a niche industry event, AUSJET attendees are predominantly decision-makers in the sector, making it a perfect opportunity to network and scope out other solutions on the market.
“The current economy is challenging, but with challenge comes opportunity,”
Fitz-Roy said.
“The best way to discover opportunities is coming to an industry-specific event like AUSJET where there’s free seminars and presentations, live demonstrations, and networking with other like-minded people.
“It’s an excellent opportunity to see what else is out there in the industry, and how it can improve efficiency within your business, which flows to the bottom line.”
Speaking of overcoming industry challenges, AUSJET24 will include a new career upskilling corner.
“The career corner is all about reskilling and learning how to attract new talent,” Fitz-Roy said.
“It’s a specialised industry, so we look at how to bring in new people to the sector, and what training and courses are available.”
Also new is the ‘Women in the industry’ breakfast, which provides an opportunity for women to network and hear from a panel of guest speakers.
The Innovation Awards are another new feature. Divided into three categories, the awards acknowledge and reward the innovative contribution of contractors, suppliers, and operators in the industry.
The Toolbox barbecue wraps things up on the afternoon of day two, providing an opportunity for attendees to get together for a sausage sizzle.
AUSJET24 is sponsored by Hammelmann Australia, Bucher Municipal, KOR, Cleanaway, and HotelPlanner, and promises to be an exciting and insightful event.
