STAGEPAK units on show at this year’s Queensland Education Resources Expo.

2011-08-05T12:51:00.003+10:00

The STAGEPAK system of interlocking units allows one to erect a number of very useful structures required in many areas of a school. Units can be configured into choir risers, steps, display structures, story pits, raised platforms etc. for use in music rooms, library resource areas, science rooms, junior teaching areas and performing arts halls. The versatility of the STAGEPAK system is unmatched because individual units can be flat packed for ease of storage and / or transport to an off site venue. Once assembled, units can then be linked like giant building blocks to create terraced structures.

Mike Rooney, Director of Ideal Plastic Concepts, will have a display of STAGEPAK units on show at this year’s Queensland Education Expo. As an ex teacher / administrator, he will understand your needs and be able to offer advice on how to get the best use from the product. Mike offers a free design / consultancy service and may even be able to accompany your order to assist you with your initial set up so that you understand all there is to know about assembling units and structures.

STAGEPAK has been wholly and proudly designed and manufactured in Australia and is distributed by Ideal Plastic Concepts. For more information, you can visit the web site at www.idealplasticconcepts.com.au or phone 1300 792 679.

New Event Name Announcement - Queensland Education Resources Expo

2010-02-16T11:17:00.000+10:00

In 2010, the event formerly known as The Education Show (Brisbane) has been renamed as the Queensland Education Resources Expo. The event was established in 2008 and has grown to become Queensland's largest trade event for education professionals with 2,000 visitors and 90 exhibitors participating in 2009.

The event name has been changed with the intention that it is more indicative of the content and information that the Expo intends to deliver to clients. There has been no change in management and Interchange Consultancy Group will continue to offer its superior service, management and the successful event upon which we have built a creditable reputation in the education industry.

The event name change has taken place to:

• Clearly identify the event as a Queensland event as there are now a number of education related events throughout Australia.

• Clearly identify the event as one in which education resources are showcased in order to more effectively target our desired audience.

The new event name, Queensland Education Resources Expo precisely indicates that the event will showcase education resources to all education professionals throughout Queensland. Exhibitors at the Expo will include suppliers of products and services relating to early childhood through to higher education institutions and across all subjects. This will be a crucial event to access the latest educational resources and information on professional development for educational institutions and their staff.
