The APGA Annual Convention and Exhibition is one of the most significant industry events for the pipeline and gas industries. Its value as an opportunity for information exchange, learning and networking is well-known and its convivial atmosphere is one of the highlights. The APGA Annual Convention and Exhibition is a genuine reflection of APGA’s commitment to the industry and to its membership and provides an opportunity for those members to shine.
This year’s Convention will be held from 24 to 27 September at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The theme of the 2022 Convention is Connect | Share | Discover.
The Convention business sessions feature presentations on the challenges of today and tomorrow, specifically looking at new applications for pipelines and future fuels, pipeline operations, construction, safety, environment, competency and corporate culture. In addition, the leaders of our industries will be sharing their views in the Industry Leaders Perspectives forum.
Of the approximately 30 APGA events and functions held each year, the Annual Convention and Exhibition is the highlight: the showcase for the industry. It is an opportunity for all members from all sectors of the industry to meet and address the issues that are important. It is an opportunity to share critical knowledge about the industry.
The Exhibition provides the opportunity for participants to display their products and for conference attendees to learn about new developments. It is an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the latest products and services.
The APGA Convention and Exhibition provides an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas and information. The business program promises high-quality papers and useful information and we look forward to welcoming you and your partner to the 2022 APGA Convention and Exhibition, to participate in four busy, informative and entertaining days.

KEYNOTE PRESENTER
Monday 26 September 2022
Strategy, execution and agility in competition are the key ingredients of success in business, and our keynote speaker, Mark Wales, has a wealth of experience in all three under very tough circumstances.
Mark was a career special forces officer in charge of 30 elite soldiers. His role was to lead combat missions deep behind enemy lines. Mark has completed 10 tours of duty to Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, Lebanon and the Solomon Islands.
Mark’s successful transition from the army led him to a high profile business career. He graduated with an MBA from the Wharton School of Business and joined McKinsey & Company. He was listed in Wharton’s prestigious 40 under 40 awards for business excellence. He is the founder and CEO of a tough luxury brand, Kill Kapture.
Mark’s current mission in life is to educate others on leadership, strategy and peak performance while under stress. He emphasises the importance of strategy, execution and agility in any competitive system, drawing lessons from fighting in Afghanistan.
Mark’s best-selling memoir: Survivor: Life in the SAS, is known as one of the leading contemporary war memoirs. He is married to Samantha Gash and they have a four-year-old boy called Harry. The pair also won the 2022 edition of Australian Survivor.
