PNG Expo 2026 will return with a fresh layout and enhanced networking, further connecting and inspiring the country’s mining and resources sector.
Following the success of its record-breaking 2025 edition, the PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo) is set to make a return to Port Moresby in July 2026.
The Stanley Hotel will once again host the event, transforming into a vibrant hub buzzing with innovation, networking, and practical industry solutions.
Using valuable feedback from exhibitors, attendees and partners, the organising team is building on this year’s event to ensure PNG Expo continues to foster strong connections between the Papua New Guinea and Australian mining and resources sectors.
A key highlight for 2026 will be a redesigned and expanded exhibition floorplan, aimed at improving visitor flow, increasing visibility for exhibitors, and creating more interactive and engaging display areas. This refreshed layout will support a larger number of exhibitors, enhance networking opportunities, and offer additional strategic positioning options for sponsors and suppliers.
The 2026 free-to-attend conference program will be developed in collaboration with the editorial team from PNG Mining.
It promises to deliver an engaging platform focused on the critical trends shaping the future of the sector, providing actionable insights for professionals working across the industry.
With strong engagement and enthusiastic feedback driving the event, networking will once again take centre stage at PNG Expo 2026.
More than just a feature on the agenda, networking will be the main focus, with expanded opportunities for face-to-face interaction designed to generate meaningful outcomes.
In addition, TriCab will return as a key networking sponsor in 2026, continuing its valued support for impactful industry initiatives.
Prime Creative Media marketing manager for mining events Rebecca Todesco said the energy across the sector is building, and PNG Expo 2026 is positioned to grow in line with this momentum.
“The launch of our 2026 event ushers in a new era for PNG Expo, one we are excited to lead,” she said. “From a redesigned floorplan to stronger content streams and bigger networking opportunities, everything we’re doing is designed to add value for both exhibitors and attendees.”
More than just a restart, 2026 represents the next stage in PNG Expo’s ongoing evolution.
Whether you’ve supported the event for years or are joining for the first time, next year’s PNG Expo is ramping up to be the best yet.
The PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference will be held at the Stanley Hotel from July 1–2, 2026. For more information, visit pngexpo.com/get-involved/
