EduBUILD/EduTECH
Knauf Australia was represented at EduBUILD/EduTECH in the ICC Sydney on 6 & 7 June.
EduBUILD is Australia’s largest education buildings and infrastructure conference and trade show for the creation and rejuvenation of learning spaces that encourage creativity, innovation, collaboration, socialisation and health & wellbeing. Held annually, its mission is to improve the quality of teaching and learning within Australasia and APAC.
It is attended by education leaders and decision-makers involved in design, construction, renovation, maintenance, operation and management of buildings for schools, colleges and universities.
Our stand had an acoustics focus and we used the opportunity to introduce Cleaneo Up. This elegant canopy added a unique design feature to our stand and certainly made a difference in terms of the acoustics in the otherwise noisy environment!
Elvis Jeannot was the lucky winner of a set of Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones with a value of $300 after completing a short quiz when visiting the Knauf Australia stand.
Knauf’s Nazli Almasirad, Shailesh Koirala and Lucas Grace also hosted a roundtable session at the event. The theme was “Class Act: Is it better to sound good or look good? Striking harmony between aesthetics and acoustic performance in a learning environment”, and focused on the importance of acoustic comfort in educational settings and the contemporary solutions that provide good aesthetic and acoustic results.

May 2019
Knauf participated at several events in May. All of the events were well attended and provided a good opportunity to showcase our brand and talk about our products.
Equinox Sydney: Equinox is a regular boutique event where industry professionals can get together in a relaxed environment to explore the latest designs and technologies in the construction and building industry. It provides a good opportunity for specifiers to engage with suppliers and manufacturers. Visitors to the Knauf stand at the Sydney event in May entered a draw to win a Bose SoundLink Revolve Wireless Speaker, valued at over $260. The lucky winner was Sanu Philip, architectural technician at the Scentre Group.

Bunnings Trade Shows: Knauf was present at three Bunnings Trade Shows in May – one in Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney. The new Knauf Arcade Game Machine was very popular with the attendees every time. The Knauf branded game machine gives young and old a chance to try their skills with over 60 classic favourites such as Pacman, Frogger, Donkey Kong and Galaga.
Open Barn Day, Melbourne: Knauf made use of the opportunity to reach out to the future generation of industry professionals by exhibiting at the Open Barn Day at Holmesglen. More than 500 building design students and apprentices attended the event to meet and network with suppliers and professionals, and to find out more about the latest technology and equipment.
