LAND FORCES 2022 will be Australia’s largest defence industry exhibition with more than 750 exhibitor companies from around the world participating in the event.

To meet industry demand, organiser AMDA Foundation released an additional 2000 square metres of exhibition space in April, adding the Great Hall to the sold out exhibition halls at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC).

The resulting total industry exhibition size is in excess of 24,000 square metres: a record for any exhibition held in AMDA Foundation’s 30-year history.

AMDA Foundation CEO Justin Giddings said the unprecedented demand demonstrated the event’s utility for Australian industry. 

“Land Forces has long been recognised as Australia’s premier platform for engagement between industry, Defence, Army and academia in the land defence community,” he said. “Land Forces 2022 is showing industry’s commitment to providing the Australian Defence Force and Army with effective capability, with the greatest possible Australian sovereign industry involvement.”

Accredited industry visitors have free access to all three days of the exhibition featuring leading local and international organisations including Boeing, CEA Technologies, NIOA, Thales, Rheinmetall, Hanwha Defense, Lockheed Martin and many more. 

All Australian states and territories will also have dedicated pavilions on the exhibition floor to showcase their local capability and give small to medium enterprises (SMEs) a platform to engage with the wider defence community.
