IMPROVE YOUR SPECIFICATION SALES Equinox is a

series of evening boutique exhibitions held across Australia and New Zealand designed

to connect design specifiers with product suppliers.

BE APART OF A UNIQUE INDUSTRY EVENT Equinox is

unlike the normal trade-show style of exhibition many are familiar with. It has unique

characteristics making it an engaging experience for the specifiers attending and an

outstanding opportunity for the suppliers to generate leads, create or reaffirm contacts

and strengthen your brand within the industry.

SHOWCASE YOUR PRODUCTS and services directly in front of

a captive audience of design specifiers.v

CONNECT with existing clients and develop relationships with new prospects

over drinks and canapes.

ENGAGE WITH DECISION MAKERS AIS specialise in getting

senior specifiers, associates and directors along to our events so you will be able to

engage with key decision makers on projects.

POSITION YOURSELF AS A THOUGHT LEADER and

expert in your field by presenting at our Education Hub.

Each event runs for 2 - 2.5 hours after work hours in CBD locations making it easy and

convenient for attending design specifiers.

Attendance - Over 200 design specifiers in major cities and 60 plus design specifiers in

regional cities.

Our 3 stand options gives exhibitors the freedom to showcase their products and

“As a company that works hard at communicating our messaging and brand

awareness within the A&D market, AIS has now become the only platform we

use in regards to engaging face to face with architects and interior designers.

AIS differ from many of its competitors by not being all about simply getting

numbers ‘through the door’ but by genuinely interested in cultivating and helping

relationships between a supplier and the specifier grow. This is on top of the

substantial projects that have come about from us participating in the EQUINOX

events. Having a great team to work with also makes it fun and enjoyable and we

always look forward to the next opportunity to partner with AIS.”

Kevin Moffat – Autex

“We’ve participated in Equinox events over the past few years

and continue to choose Equinox based on the quality of the

visitors attending combined with the quality of the events

themselves. They’re enjoyable to attend as a supplier and

offer us the opportunity to engage with innovative designers,

discussing current projects.”

Carli Barnes - Locker Group

“Over the last few years, we have participated in all states with the Equinox events and have

found them to be very beneficial to our business. The staff at AIS are very well organised and the

events always run smoothly. The attendees get qualified so that we are only getting specifiers

which are our target audience. The feedback we get from the attendees has also been positive

which is reassuring for us. We are showcasing our products through Equinox again this year with

our brand new display and look forward to continuing our association with them moving forward.”
