Welcome to ACE 2009
On behalf of the Victorian branch of the Construction and Mining Equipment Industry Group (CMEIG), it is with great pleasure that we invite your company to participate at the 6th biennial Australian Construction Equipment Expo (ACE 2009). Once again ACE will dominate the 40 hectare site at Sandown Racecourse from 26 - 28 February 2009 in the only trade event in Victoria dedicated to YOUR industry.
There can be no doubt that ACE 2009 is the must attend event for your industry, and exhibiting at ACE will put you and your products face to face with thousands of qualified buyers and key decision-makers in the construction and earthmoving industry. Your participation at ACE 2009 will raise your profile, strengthen your existing customer relationships, identify and confirm new business contacts, drive sales and best of all display, promote, demonstrate and discuss what's new in your business. Held every two years, ACE 2009 is the only major trade exhibition in Victoria dedicated to the earthmoving, construction and allied industries. It attracts decision makers from the earthmoving, civil contracting, farming, government, hire & rental, quarry, demolition, civil engineering, public/municipal works & mining sectors and serves as a meeting place for buyers and sellers.
2007 saw record pre-registrations resulting from our comprehensive marketing and promotional campaign, a combination of direct mail, trade magazines, dedicated website, telemarketing, VIP program, regional advertising and extensive promotion through our association partnerships. In 2009 we will add to that mix a blend of radio and outdoor promotions, in addition to some new initiatives which are sure to enhance our exciting new campaign. We will also bid farewell to the struggling seminar program and welcome the introduction of an exciting new visitor feature sure to provide the WOW factor your customers will be looking for.
Since its inception in 1999, the ACE Expo, held every second year in Melbourne, has become one of the premier events on the Construction and Earthmoving Industries calendar. ACE 2007 was an outstanding success for exhibitors and for visitors. Exhibitors used ACE 2007 to launch new models and services with many exhibitors reporting strong sales as a result of their presence at the show.
Planning is well under way for ACE 2009 which will be held at Sandown Racecourse in February 2009. On behalf of CMEIG (Vic) I commend this Expo to all potential exhibitors. For those who have refrained from exhibiting at ACE in the past I urge you to consider the benefits of being part of one of Australia's best Construction and Earthmoving Equipment shows. You won't be disappointed.

President, CMEIG (VIC)
