A WORD FROM<br />
THE MD<br />
JIM DELAHUNTY<br />
MANAGING DIRECTOR<br />
EXPONET<br />
We are fast approaching the <strong>Ch</strong><strong>rist</strong><strong>ma</strong>s break and I would<br />
like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for<br />
helping us get through an exciting and challenging 2010.<br />
It has been an eventful year with the launch of the new<br />
brand, the new brochure and investment in new stock. We<br />
are expecting our new furniture to arrive from Italy early<br />
next year, this will introduce some really classy items to our<br />
current ranges.<br />
Among the highlights of the year were the Microsoft TechEd<br />
project at the GCEC, the “Big Day Out” custom area for<br />
school principals in <strong>Me</strong>lbourne and the Reed Exhibitions Gift<br />
Shows in Sydney and <strong>Me</strong>lbourne. Large, complicated and<br />
unlike your standard exhibition, each of these projects were<br />
fantastic examples of the design, project <strong>ma</strong>nagement,<br />
planning and sales skills we possess as a company.<br />
Once again I wish everyone a safe and healthy <strong>Ch</strong><strong>rist</strong><strong>ma</strong>s<br />
and a fantastic New Year and I look forward to seeing you<br />
all in 2011.<br />
RELOCATION OF PRODUCTION<br />
FROM PEAKHURST TO AUBURN<br />
The team at our production facility in Peakhurst is going to<br />
literally become part of the furniture in Auburn, as they are<br />
about to relocate to take up furniture’s space at 45 Princes<br />
Rd West. We are all looking forward to having the boys join<br />
us at Auburn. Furniture will be moving across the road to the<br />
new factory at 50 Princes Rd West, as seen in these photos.<br />
ELECTRICS NEW TECHNOLOGY<br />
ExpoNet has not been idle with it’s research and<br />
development and has constructed the first ever fully<br />
adjustable Power Distribution Pod. First used at The 2010<br />
Sydney Motor Show it was well received by all parties. Tony<br />
<strong>Me</strong>agher, the Operations Manager of The 2010 Sydney<br />
Motor Show said “the distribution of power and installation<br />
was more efficient and <strong>ma</strong>naged without any issues”.<br />
This Pod enables our electrical teams to<br />
offer the best customer service when<br />
delivering power to not only the show<br />
but also to individual stands. The Pod<br />
allows staff to monitor incoming and<br />
outgoing power loads and gives them<br />
the ability to safely and easily adjust the<br />
circuit breakers to suit the varying loads.<br />
Along with our new timer switch boards, new track system<br />
and LED lighting ExpoNet is moving to a new level of quality<br />
in the delivery of safe and efficient electrical services for<br />
venues, organisers and exhibitors. The new LED lighting not<br />
only reduces power consumption by 85% and is easier and<br />
safer to install they are an attractive addition to the look<br />
of the stand.
SYDNEY KINGS ARE BACK<br />
ExpoNet has supplied 74 Corporate Boxes to the Sydney<br />
Kings Basketball Franchise for use at their home games at the<br />
Sydney Entertainment Centre. Made from our 40mm Maxi<strong>ma</strong><br />
Octanorm System incorporating custom bench tops and using<br />
black simona panels and front digital corporate logos these<br />
are the envy of the other franchises in the National Basketball<br />
League.<br />
Family and corporate entertainment are the values of the<br />
King’s Franchise and still with some boxes to sell for this year it is<br />
great value for all our corporate clients to consider.<br />
FEATURE PROJECT<br />
MICROSOFT TECH· ED<br />
In August, ExpoNet was the official display contractor<br />
for Microsoft Tech•Ed at the Gold Coast Exhibition &<br />
Convention Centre, an all emcompassing project that<br />
required involvement from all the branches. The original<br />
concepts were designed in both <strong>Me</strong>lbourne and Sydney.<br />
The Microsoft Showcase stand, which was the centrepiece<br />
of the show, was a complex custom stand designed in<br />
Sydney. The stand incorporated significant stretch banners<br />
with intrigrated lighting and flooring solutions. It again<br />
demonstrated the ability of ExpoNet and its staff to design<br />
and construct high end custom stands that stand out from<br />
the crowd.<br />

BIG DAY OUT<br />
ICMS Australasia and ExpoNet recently partnered on<br />
the Big Day Out – one of the largest custom projects<br />
built in the <strong>Me</strong>lbourne Convention Centre in August.<br />
Consisting of 15 large custom displays configured in a<br />
unique design using built-in audio visual screens and<br />
fourteen custom<br />
computer kiosks,<br />
the event was<br />
for the launch<br />
of the muchanticipated<br />
Ultranet<br />
online portal<br />
for Victorian<br />
schools.<br />
Large spheres<br />
dominated the<br />
ceiling and tied<br />
the whole event together. Thousands of principals and<br />
key education staff were in attendance and the whole<br />
project was a huge success.<br />
