HIRE18 CELEBRATING 50 YEARS PARTNERSHIP PROSPECTUS 30-31 May 2018 Brisbane, QLD The Hire and Rental Industry Association
WELCOME FROM THE HRIA James Oxenham HRIA CEO The HRIA is pleased to present HIRE18, our annual industry event now in its 50th year! This year we take the opportunity to show off the best the industry has to offer at the internationally renowned and award-winning venue, the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC). We will again be bringing you keynote speakers, offering thought-leadership, motivation and strategic content you can apply directly to your businesses. As the leading event for the hire sector in Australia, there is no better place to network with peers from across the country and the globe, and find out about coming challenges and opportunities and how to tackle them. With greater focus on the exhibition this year, our conference programme will run until around midmorning, with exhibits welcoming visitors to the stand as soon as the door are open. As always, there will be plenty of social events to keep the networking going throughout the event; as well as the annual anticipation surrounding the best hire companies and suppliers at the Hire Industry Excellence Awards as voted for by rental company members and judged by an independent panel. This year, we re seeing unprecedented growth off the back of heavy infrastructure spending, so now is a great time to put your best foot forward and promote your message to the industry s meeting place, as they gather to learn about safety, innovation, business culture and opportunity. So join us to celebrate 50 years of HRIA events at HIRE18! Jeff Bernard HRIA President As President of the HRIA for the past three years, I know how tough it can be for members to find time to attend industry exhibitions, so it s always comforting to find out how much our members value the annual event and not only take the time to attend, but bring their entire teams to learn and develop their skills and knowledge around the sector. This year aims to be the best event ever, celebrating our 50th year as an annual event. So much history has taken place during the show and we re delighted to recognise those who have been with us since the very first year, but to also welcome new members who s support we welcome with equal measure. There s so much to gain as an exhibitor, so get in touch with Martin at the National Office to find out how you can be a part of HIRE18.

Knowing our peers are so willing to share their wisdom, teach us about products... has motivated us to greater success.

Networking with business owners from companies like Kennards, Smart Hire and Barossa Valley Hire made us feel a part of the wider business community.
