The 2009 APIA Annual Convention

The APIA Convention and Exhibition is recognised as one of the most important events in the national energy and infrastructure calendar. The event attracts attendees from around the nation, as well as many international visitors.

APIA is a vibrant, active and pro-active industry representative body that is recognised on the national stage. The issues and activities are many, including driver safety training, discussing with government the many regulatory and economic issues faced by the industry, raising the profile of natural gas as the sensible fuel in a carbon constrained future, continuing valuable research into safe and efficient transportation of gas and other fluids, providing guidance to the next generation, assisting with exchange of information to ensure Australia’s pipeline system is maintained at the optimum level, so that this critical infrastructure remains part of the nation’s energy backbone.

Nevertheless, even with all this activity, the Convention remains the highlight of the year.

This year’s Convention will be held 17 to 20 October at the Cairns Convention Centre. The theme of the 2009 Convention is Pipelines – A Dynamic Approach to Australia’s Energy Needs.

The Convention and Exhibition will provide relevant, up-to-date information about projects and international issues, address technical, environmental and economic challenges and look at new developments in the industry.

The Exhibition will provide exhibitors with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their new innovations as well as highlight their many successes. Delegates will be able to ask questions and discuss the latest products and services.

The Business Program promises high-quality papers and useful information and we look forward to welcoming you and your partner to the 2009 APIA Convention and Exhibition in Cairns, to participate in four busy, informative and entertaining days.

The APIA Convention and Exhibition provides a forum for exchange of ideas and information like no other energy event in Australia. Don’t miss this event – you will be one of the many people who will be able to proudly say “I’ve been to the APIA Convention”!
