BULK2024 is Australia’s only dedicated exhibition for the bulk solids handling industry. Are you going to be in Melbourne on 18-19 September for BULK2024?
The bulk handling industry has long been a cornerstone of the local economy and is critical to global security. The Australian Bulk Handling Expo (BULK) will return to Melbourne in September 2024, connecting people to people and business to business while showcasing solutions that will help the industry move products to where they are needed most – domestically and internationally.
With the bulk handling industry facing skills shortages and an ageing workforce, securing its future is critical to the continuation of Australia’s economic growth. Technological advancement and automation will have wide-ranging impacts on the industry. Understanding these impacts will be a significant focus of BULK2024.
The event will feature an expansive trade show showcasing the latest solutions for the industry and host an informative two-day conference where discussions will focus on how businesses can take the next step to remain cutting-edge in a constantly changing world.
BULK2024 will bring together leading companies from right across the bulk solids handling sector to connect and examine the role that technologies will play, how to use them to their advantage and what else can be done to further improve efficiencies. The exhibition is exclusive to companies offering innovative solutions for the industry.
The Australian Society for Bulk Solids Handling (ASBSH) is the industry body that supports BULK2024. As a technical society from Engineers Australia (EA), it aims to promote co-operation between universities, researchers, consultants, equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and industrial users of bulk solids. ASBSH also seeks to encourage research and development, technology transfer and training. It holds regular national and international conferences while promoting undergraduate and further postgraduate education in bulk solids handling.
