A different kind of trade event
Why ARBSQLD?
HVAC&R is moving fast. Systems are more complex, products are evolving, and the people who specify, install and maintain them are stretched thin. Staying current shouldn't mean wading through a hundred supplier PDFs.
ARBSQLD is built around a simple idea: bring training to the floor. Two days, one venue, immersive sessions on every stand, plus the technical, careers and professional development programs the industry is asking for.
02 / QLD market
Reach an untapped audience
A direct line to Queensland contractors, technicians, consultants and specifiers, many of whom don't make it to the main ARBS biennial event.
03 / Future workforce
Tackle the skills shortage
A dedicated careers hub connecting education providers, government and employers with school leavers, career-changers and women entering the trades.
For exhibitors
A compelling offer,
made for Queensland.
Smaller stands. Lower cost. Local reps. Built-in audience. ARBSQLD is designed so you can show up, deliver real training, and walk out with warm relationships, without the budget of a national stand.

The program
Six ways to learn. One event.
Built around how the industry actually wants to consume training: short, practical, accredited where it matters, and worth the trip.

Short, focused training on exhibitor stands across both days. Multiple suppliers in one day, no more chasing individual training visits.
02 / Technical talks
~30-min info sessions
Non-commercial sessions selected via abstract submission. Fan-selection fundamentals, fault-finding workshops, BMS bootcamps, not sales pitches.
03 / Micro-credentials
2-hour accredited courses
Delivered by industry associations and training academies. A taster into deeper learning pathways, and a pipeline builder for providers.
04 / PD seminar program
1.5-day senior leaders' stream
Delivered with CIBSE. Fire safety, technical research, building performance, licensing. Opens the day before the exhibition.
05 / Careers hub
Growing the next generation
