Global Sourcing Expo Sydney 2026 is set to bring together Australia’s sourcing, buying, and product development professionals from 16 to 18 June 2026 at the International Convention Centre Sydney. The three-day trade event will connect buyers with over 600 export-ready suppliers from more than 15 countries, creating a highly efficient sourcing platform for businesses.
Designed to simplify the increasingly complex global sourcing landscape, the expo enables attendees to meet suppliers face-to-face, compare capabilities, and accelerate sourcing decisions. Key sourcing regions represented include India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, offering a diverse range of manufacturing expertise.
The event provides a unique opportunity for buyers to evaluate suppliers side-by-side, allowing for better benchmarking of pricing structures, compliance standards, production capacity, and lead times. This direct comparison helps businesses make more informed and confident sourcing decisions while significantly reducing sourcing cycles.
The expo is tailored for professionals responsible for sourcing and supply chain outcomes, including business owners, buyers, merchandise managers, designers, product developers, and logistics specialists. Attendees are encouraged to approach the event with clearly defined sourcing briefs to maximise value from interactions with suppliers.
Beyond the exhibition floor, the event will feature a comprehensive knowledge program aimed at addressing evolving industry needs. The Global Sourcing Seminar Series will offer concise, high-impact sessions on topics such as AI in product development, sustainability, retail trends, and supply chain strategies.
New additions for 2026 include the Global Sourcing Summit Masterclass Series and the Learning Lab. The masterclasses will provide in-depth insights into strategy, innovation, and business growth, with sessions led by industry experts such as Jenn Donovan, Therese Tarlinton, and Jude Kingston.
The Learning Lab will serve as an interactive knowledge hub, featuring expert sessions, workshops, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities, offering practical guidance for sourcing professionals.
With its combination of global supplier access, strategic insights, and hands-on learning opportunities, the expo is positioned as a key event for businesses looking to strengthen sourcing strategies and stay competitive in a dynamic global market.
