The essentials
When and where is it?
Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 September 2026, at the Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane Showgrounds, 600 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills QLD 4006 — around 1.5km from the Brisbane CBD and roughly 12km from Brisbane Airport, about 15 minutes’ drive.
For directions and parking, see the venue’s own guide: brisbaneshowgrounds.com.au/exhibitors/directions-parking
Where is the exhibition?
The main foyer directly outside Meeting Rooms 1–3, on the upper level. It’s the main thoroughfare between sessions, so you’ll see delegates throughout the day.
Which day do I exhibit?
Exhibitors are allocated to one conference day, either Day 1 or Day 2. Your day is confirmed in your confirmation email — if you have any questions, contact Sally.
What does it cost?
Nothing. There’s no exhibitor fee.
Who will I be meeting?
Around 70–80 delegates: Ingenia Holiday Park Managers, Ingenia Rental Community Managers, and the operational and corporate teams.
What time does the exhibition open and close?
Exhibition hours to be confirmed.
Your stand
What am I given?
A 900mm x 900mm square high-top dry bar and a 2m x 2m space. No furniture hire needed.
How many people can I bring?
The space fits one person comfortably. If you’re planning two, talk to Sally first.
Can I put up a banner or signage?
Yes, but it must be free-standing. Nothing can be fixed to the walls — the venue doesn’t allow it. There are no Velcro-receptive walls or panels.
Is the floor plan available?
Stand allocations are being finalised and will be sent to you before the event.
Power and internet
Is power available?
Yes, standard power sockets are available. Bring your own power boards and extension leads — these aren’t supplied.
Do my electricals need testing?
Yes. All electrical equipment must carry a current test tag.
Is there WiFi?
Yes — Royal ICC GUEST, complimentary throughout the venue, capped at 20mb/s. It’s a shared connection, so if you’re streaming video or running live demonstrations, bring a dongle or arrange a dedicated connection with the Royal ICC well in advance.
Bump-in and bump-out
When can I set up?
7.15am to 8.00am on your exhibition day. Everything must be set up and aisles clear before delegates arrive from 8.00am.
What do I do with packaging?
Remove all excess packaging and rubbish from the foyer immediately after setting up.
When do I pack down?
Bump-out times differ on Day 1 and Day 2 — to be confirmed.
Anything left in the foyer after the venue deadline may be discarded.
I’ve got bulky items — what should I do?
Talk to Sally. Large or bulky items come in via the loading dock, and she’ll walk you through the access and timing.
Getting there
Where do I park?
Two undercover car parks in the Showgrounds precinct: the Royal ICC Car Park directly opposite the Exhibition Building on Gregory Terrace (140 bays, with direct lift access to the Royal ICC), and the King Street Car Park via Machinery Street (380 spaces across 5 levels).
Both are cashless — card payment on exit only, no pre-bookings, and no complimentary exhibitor parking. Allow extra time if other events are on at the Showgrounds.
Where’s the loading dock?
Back right-hand corner of the venue, from the Gregory Terrace driveway entrance. Loading and unloading only — no parking.
High-visibility vests are mandatory at all times on the dock, and you’ll need to bring your own. B-Double vehicles can’t access the dock; trailers must be detached and delivered in two loads. No smoking. Your vehicle and its contents remain your responsibility while on the dock.
Which lift do I use?
The exhibitor lift for bump-in and bump-out is at the back right-hand corner of the building, next to the loading dock. Guest lifts are in the central main foyer.
Deliveries and collateral
Can I send things to the venue ahead of time?
Yes. Request a delivery label from Sally, and let her know the courier name, expected arrival date and number of items. Pre-delivered items are stored on the loading dock for you to collect during bump-in — they won’t be placed on your stand for you.
Can I put something in the delegate conference bags?
Yes, one item per exhibitor. Sally will confirm the quantity you need to supply once final delegate numbers are known.
What sort of item works best?
Digital is strongly preferred, in line with Ingenia’s sustainability commitment. Good options include a printed card with a QR code linking to your catalogue or website, a USB or tag loaded with your digital brochure, or a branded sustainable item such as a seed packet or reusable product.
If printed collateral is essential, use recycled or FSC-certified paper and keep the page count down.
When and where do I deliver it?
To the Registration Desk at the Royal ICC by Monday 31 August 2026, the day before the conference, or as otherwise directed by Sally. It must arrive before bag-packing begins.
How should I label it?
Label all boxes clearly with “Conference Bag Collateral — Ingenia Holiday Parks Managers Conference 2026” plus your company name.
Is anything not allowed?
No sharp, fragile or excessively bulky items without prior approval. Perishable items are not permitted.
What happens to my freight after the event?
Move anything for courier collection to the loading dock and label it clearly before you leave.
Prizes and engagement
Can I run a prize draw?
Yes, and it’s encouraged — it’s a good way to generate leads and create a memorable interaction. You’re welcome to run it directly from your stand.
What’s the trivia competition?
Trivia competition details to be confirmed.
Facilities
Is there somewhere I can take a call or do some work?
Yes, a boardroom is available for exhibitors who need a private space for calls, meetings or work during the conference day. Let Sally know in advance and confirm your time at the Registration Desk on arrival.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. The Royal ICC is wheelchair accessible on both levels, with accessible parking on the ground floor of the Royal ICC Car Park. Wheelchairs are available from the Customer Relations team.
Still have a question?
