The PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference is making its much-anticipated return to Port Moresby in July 2025.
Designed to foster business connections, share industry insights and provide a world-class networking experience, the 2025 PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo) is set to build on the success of previous years.
Held at the Stanley Hotel, a premier business venue in the heart of Port Moresby, PNG Expo 2025 will ensure a seamless experience for delegates by keeping all aspects of the event – exhibitions, conferences, and networking sessions – within one convenient location.
“Hosting everything at the Stanley Hotel means our delegates can focus on forging meaningful industry connections instead of travelling between venues,” Prime Creative Media mining events marketing manager Rebecca Todesco said. “We’re bringing the industry together in one place, making it easy to connect and maximise business opportunities.”
With exhibitors such as Metso, Blackwoods, Sandvik, Dreager, Lincom and Putzmeister already having secured their spots, this year’s PNG Expo is expected to be a must-attend event of the year for those in the sector.
A hub for industry innovation
The exhibition will feature a carefully curated floorplan designed to facilitate high-value business interactions between key mining industry buyers and suppliers.
Running alongside the exhibition, a two-day speaker conference will focus on industry-critical topics, offering delegates insights from leading professionals and decision-makers.
Delegates will have the opportunity to hear from a range of industry experts, participate in discussions about key developments, and engage in valuable networking.
More than business
Beyond the exhibition and speaker sessions, PNG Expo 2025 offers a premium networking experience designed to help delegates maximise their time in Port Moresby.
The event will officially kick off with an exclusive welcome drinks reception, set against the stunning backdrop of the local skyline.
Prime Creative Media general manager of events Siobhan Rocks reflected on the success of the 2024 event, which featured a similar networking opportunity.
“The welcome drinks were a highlight last year, allowing attendees to connect in a relaxed environment beside the pool at the Stanley Hotel,” she said.
“The atmosphere, the music and the high-quality hospitality created the perfect setting for industry professionals to meet before the main event.”
The networking opportunities continue as the event progresses. Delegates can meet and collaborate throughout the exhibition, at conference sessions and during casual encounters around the Stanley Hotel’s business facilities. The gala dinner, which marks the conclusion of the PNG Expo, is set to be an unforgettable evening of celebration, networking and entertainment. This exclusive event brings together industry leaders, decision-makers and business representatives to celebrate the ever-evolving mining industry.
Rocks said the 2024 gala dinner played a crucial role in enhancing the overall PNG Expo experience.
“It was a fantastic way to round out two days of business and networking,” she said. “Attendees got to sit down with people they had met at the event, strengthen their connections over a five-star meal, and enjoy speeches and entertainment that truly celebrated the industry.”
This year’s gala dinner will be even bigger and better, ensuring an unparalleled experience for all who attend.
With major industry names already securing their participation, now is the time to lock in a spot at this year’s PNG Expo. Whether looking to exhibit, attend or sponsor, this event promises to be a game-changer for those in the mining and resources industries.
The 2025 PNG Expo will be held at the Stanley Hotel in Port Moresby from July 2–3.
