The Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME) 2026 is set to deliver far more than an exhibition, it is where the mining industry comes to connect, collaborate and do business.

The Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME) Leadership Series has unveiled its full speaker line-up, as anticipation builds for the event at the Mackay Showgrounds from 21–23 July 2026.

PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo) will bring together key decision makers from across Papua New Guinea’s resources sector, with its 2026 conference program spotlighting speakers from leading mining companies, service providers and community organisations.

The Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME) is shaping up to be a must-attend event for those looking to get ahead in Queensland’s mining industry, with a strong speaker program offering expert analysis on the pivotal trends shaping the sector and strategic insights into the future of mining across the Bowen Basin and Queensland.

The AMR Safety Summit will unite mining companies, boots on the ground workers and suppliers to have a meaningful dialogue on safety, risk & ESG

A greener future will require more mining than ever before, meaning collaboration and the adoption of new technologies across the industry’s entire value chain is no longer an option, but a necessity.

This time next week, the Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition will be in full swing at Mackay Showgrounds, with thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors coming together for Queensland’s largest mining event.
