PACIFIC 2015: Helping Bring the Maritime Industry Together
About PACIFIC 2015
From its beginnings in 2000, the Pacific International Maritime Exposition (known as PACIFIC) has grown to be an important forum for the maritime and defence industries in Australia and the region. It is now a highlight on the industry calendar, with key decision-makers from Australia, Asia and the Indo-Pacific in attendance.
For exhibitors, PACIFIC provides the opportunity for global companies to create brand affiliation with key defence stakeholders, launch new products and technologies, seek out new partnerships and examine the competitor technologies.
PACIFIC 2015 was held at the Sydney Exhibition Centre @ Glebe Island, and Microhire was the official supplier for audio visual technology. Our team helped both the event organiser and exhibitors communicate their message and maximise impact in front of key stakeholders.
