Global Sourcing Expo 2024

Following the success of two highly acclaimed editions in 2023, the International Exhibition & Conference (IEC) Group has announced the return of the Global Sourcing Expo to Sydney and Melbourne in 2024. “We’ve seen the huge demand that both cities have for our unique global offering and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead, with double the opportunity to bring local buyers and some of the best exhibitors from around the world together for a three-day sourcing extravaganza,” said IEC CEO Marie Kinsella.

The first event, Global Sourcing Expo Sydney, is set to take place from June 12-14, 2024, at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. Registrations for this event are now open. The Melbourne show will follow from November 19-21, 2024, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Global Sourcing Expo has its origins in 2010, sparked by Australia’s growing demand for high-quality international products. The Expo has since evolved into a premier event, providing exhibitors in apparel, textiles, and homeware the chance to connect with over 5,000 trade buyers and industry professionals in Australia’s key fashion hubs.

The 2024 Sydney show expects over 500 exhibitors from more than 20 countries, including leading market players and trade associations such as the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, Taiwan Textile Federation, and Korea International Trade Association. “Exhibitors benefit from an extensive marketing campaign before the event, maximizing their exposure and helping them gain access to the lucrative Australian and New Zealand markets,” said Marie.

The Expo provides a vital platform for buyers to assess the quality of international products firsthand, with a diverse range of exhibitors from SMEs to high-profile industry associations. The event remains free for all industry members, enhancing its accessibility and value.
