With an expanded floorplan, conference program, and strong early interest, PNG Expo 2026 is already shaping up to be a must-attend event.
With quarrying and construction materials playing a growing role in Papua New Guinea’s infrastructure expansion, the PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo 2026) is a key touchpoint event.
An expanded exhibition floor, strengthened conference program, and confirmed exhibitors including the likes of Komatsu, Metso, Lincom Group, Sandvik Rock Processing and more, demonstrate a promising event aligned with the needs of quarry operators, contractors and materials producers.
The PNG Expo will return to Port Moresby from 1–2 July at a time when demand for aggregates, hard rock, cement inputs and construction materials continues to rise. As new road, port, energy and community infrastructure projects move from planning into delivery, the event provides a timely platform for quarry suppliers, equipment manufacturers and service providers to connect directly with decision-makers shaping PNG’s next phase of development.
The event brings together suppliers, miners, contractors, government representatives and industry leaders from across the country and the broader region. The 2026 edition will feature a comprehensive exhibition floor highlighting the latest products, technologies and services supporting PNG’s mining, construction, infrastructure, energy and industrial sectors.
Structured networking opportunities will again be a central feature, giving attendees direct access to in-country decision-makers and service providers while fostering meaningful, long-term partnerships.
Prime Creative Media Show Director – Mining Events, Rebecca Todesco said in a statement that the event continues to play an important role in supporting sustainable development across the country’s resources industry.
“When industry, government and communities meet in one place, it creates real opportunities for growth, collaboration and long-term success in the mining sector and across the country,” Todesco said.
“PNG Expo welcomes industry leaders, government representatives and local businesses to come together, share insights and be part of discussions that will help guide the future of mining in PNG.”
A new addition for 2026 will be on-site editorial coverage led by PNG Mining. Journalists will conduct interviews on the conference stage, spotlighting major projects, emerging technologies and operational challenges, while giving exhibitors added exposure beyond their stands.Event sponsor Tricab said the conference component is a major drawcard. Tricab general manager sales Australia and New Zealand Shane Plumridge said knowledge-sharing translates directly into practical, in-country outcomes.
“One of the key focuses of the expo is the conferencing,” Plumridge said.
“You learn so much from these discussions that translates directly into in-country knowledge to help better suit customers. Events like this give businesses access to best-in-class manufacturing capabilities and the opportunities to create long lasting business partnerships.
“There are challenges facing PNG’s market that others might not have to deal with, such as having key distribution routes and strong supply chains. It’s this that made us want to really get behind the project because it’s a key meeting place to do business.”
Exhibitor spaces are now available, and premium indoor stands are close to selling out. With demand strong and space limited, companies are encouraged to secure their position early.
As mining and resource projects continue to develop nationwide, PNG Expo offers a timely platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration and support safe, sustainable and resilient operations.
“We’re seeing more and more investment into PNG as a nation, particularly in the industrial space. We want to be at the forefront of that and make meaningful connections with local businesses,” Plumridge said.
With strong early interest, PNG Expo 2026 is set to be a must-attend event for those operating in or supplying PNG’s growing resources market.
