The Asia Pacific Exhibitor

The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 issues are now available online and are packed with news from the big range of recent and upcoming international exhibitions as well as the usual diverse selection of exhibiting related topics. 

There's the usual Showtime Exhibition Timetable, FIP and APF news columns, book reviews, letters to the editor and more.  Future isses of our journal will be placed on this page.  You will be able to inspect each issue in full colour, from the day the issue goes to the printer.

With its high quality production and finishing including numerous full colour pages, and membership at just $30 per year within Australia ($45 outside Australia) for four editions, it has got to be the best value society membership going. Don't miss it: sixty-four pages packed solid with informative reading four times each year.

You can inspect the issues from 2006 on our website, the Journals page. Back copies can be purchased at a cost $10 per issue post paid within Australia or $12 per issue for destinations outside Australia.  You can use our shopping facilities on our Products page; it has secure credit card payment facilites for Visa Card and MasterCard.

A Cumulative Index covering Numbers 1 to 75 was sent to members free of charge with the May 2009 issue (Number 80).  It was sent out on CD, ready to install on any Windows PC with a recent Operating System (like XP or Vista).  It includes commands to search the index and to display or print the contents.  As a full printout of the Index will take some 300+ pages, it is too expensive to print and send by mail.  Also available are membership, badges, etc.: see  our Products page. 

The Handbook for the Australian Exhibitor

In February 2004 all members received a free copy of the "Handbook for the Australian Exhibitor", a 140 page A4 publication produced to the same standard as the Journal (i.e. with a number of full colour pages). The handbook contains a range of articles about exhibiting as well as all the latest rules for FIP classes and all APF National classes. Further copies are available at a cost of $20 post paid.

Some of its contents are now out of date, and a revised edition is scheduled for publication in 2010.
