The Mining Pavilion will once again be a standout feature of the Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME) in 2026, with leading operators including Glencore Australia, BRAVUS, BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, Mackellar Group, and Whitehaven Coal confirmed to take part.
A long-standing and highly anticipated element of QME, the Mining Pavilion brings together major mining companies in a dedicated space on the show floor, creating a central hub for connection and conversation.
Designed as a destination for visitors seeking practical knowledge and real-world insight, the pavilion provides direct access to the companies shaping Queensland’s mining sector.
From operational priorities and innovation to workforce development and sustainability, it offers an opportunity for open dialogue with the people behind some of the state’s most significant operations.
Held from 21–23 July at the Mackay Showgrounds, QME is Australia’s largest regional mining and engineering event, attracting thousands of professionals across operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, procurement and supply.
Rebecca Todesco, show director of mining events, said the Mining Pavilion remains one of the most highly anticipated features of QME.
“The Mining Pavilion has always been where the industry comes together,” Todesco
said. “It gives visitors direct access to the people behind major operations, while giving mining companies a powerful platform to engage, share insights and build lasting connections.”
Returning to its familiar location at QME, the pavilion will once again provide a focused environment for meaningful conversations between operators and the wider mining community.
