The Global Sourcing Expo returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre next week from Tuesday 18 to Thursday 20 November 2026, bringing together leading manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals from across the globe. This is the must-attend sourcing event of the year — and trade registration is free.
Visitors will be able to explore hundreds of exhibitors (900+) across apparel, textiles, footwear, accessories, and home furnishings, offering unparalleled access to global sourcing opportunities under one roof.
Following a highly successful Sydney event earlier this year, the Melbourne edition promises to deliver even greater opportunities for sourcing, learning, and international connection. Year after year, the Global Sourcing Expo has grown in prestige and scale, thanks to the exceptional calibre of exhibitors who travel to Australia to showcase their quality products and craftsmanship.
A Global Marketplace of Opportunity
This year’s Expo will feature exhibitors from Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Pakistan, South Korea, Türkiye, USA, Vietnam, Africa, and elsewhere — highlighting the truly international nature of the event.
For professionals involved in product sourcing, supply chain management, or the fashion and retail sectors, the event presents an opportunity to engage directly with global manufacturers and establish new sourcing partnerships.
A key highlight of the show is the array of participating industry associations representing the craftsmanship and production capabilities of leading export nations. These include:
- Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO)
- Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC)
- Carpet Export Promotion Council (CEPC)
- Council for Leather Exports (CLE)

The participation of these prestigious organisations is a testament to the Expo’s global standing and the international support it receives from governments, trade bodies, and industry leaders.
