A Landmark Moment for Tauranga and New Zealand Triathlon
The team at Expandasign was honoured to play a part in this historic occasion, working closely with Shanelle Barrett from SB Events and Tri NZ to deliver standout event branding and signage.
One of the highlights of the launch was the large, impressive gantry built by Expandasign, proudly showcasing World Triathlon branding. Positioned as the centrepiece of the reveal, this structure created a powerful visual impact and set the stage for the announcement. Alongside the gantry, we also produced stunning event backdrops and teadrop flags, that transformed the venue at Trinity Wharf into a professional and engaging space for athletes, officials, and media.
