The Global Sourcing Expo is a major event that brings together significant international players in the dynamic textile and apparel industry. Following the huge success of the Sydney Show earlier this year, Melbourne will host the Expo from November 19–21, 2024. This is an exceptional chance for Indian companies to showcase their products, build relationships with global customers, and find new business opportunities.
Success in Sydney
The success of the Global Sourcing Expo Sydney is evidence of the event’s importance on the global sourcing schedule. With more than 500 elite exhibitors and 5,000 attendees from a range of industries—of whom 97% were decision-makers or purchasers with sway—the Expo offered an unrivaled chance for business expansion and networking.
The success of the Sydney Show was emphasized by Marie Kinsella, CEO of the International Expo Group, which is in charge of organizing the Expo. She said, “The caliber of exhibitors and the quality of visitors we attracted exceeded our expectations.” We are thrilled to offer Melbourne the same caliber of expertise since the response has been so fantastic.
Decision-makers, trade buyers, top brands and manufacturers, significant retail chains, and wholesalers from the fashion, textiles, clothing, accessory, and footwear industries were drawn to the Sydney 2024 event. “I could not believe how many buyers dropped by our stand,” remarked one vendor.
Testimonials from Sydney
The significance of taking part in the Global Sourcing Expo was emphasized in the comments provided by both attendees and exhibitors during the Sydney Show. “It was a great platform to promote our Indian hand-made products to the Australian market,” said Ravita, an Indian exhibitor. We are excited to collaborate with customers that desire customized goods.
“The Global Sourcing Expo in Sydney served as a very good platform for us to interact with numerous new and emerging brands,” said one of the exhibitors. The diverse range of attendees and the expertly organized event provided insightful perspectives into the international fashion scene. We are grateful for this chance and anticipate welcoming an even wider range of guests in the future.
Exhibitors frequently reported that the Sydney Show gave them vital exposure to new markets, gave them the chance to interact with influential buyers, and helped them forge significant partnerships. “The Global Sourcing Expo Sydney was a fantastic experience,” said one exhibitor. The onboarding procedure went easily and without hiccups. The show gave me the chance to talk to and meet a wide range of people. We had never exhibited in Australia before, and it was a fantastic experience. We’re excited to take part in more events in the future.
The guests were just as impressed. An Australian retail buyer said, “I thought it was well worth my first visit to the Expo.” I relished the opportunity to speak with possible suppliers face-to-face, examine samples up close, and assess the level of quality.
What to Expect in Melbourne
Melbourne’s edition is set to build on Sydney’s success by providing even more options for both exhibitors and attendees. A thorough three-day seminar program, elite exhibitors from more than 15 countries, and an emphasis on the newest developments in the sector are all features of the event.
Opportunities for Indian Exhibitors
Indian exhibitors have a fantastic opportunity to interact with a worldwide audience at the Global Sourcing Expo Melbourne. This Expo, which is one of the biggest sourcing events in the area and, as per Forbes, among the Top Ten Fashion Expos globally, draws in buyers from Australia, New Zealand, and other regions, giving Indian businesses a chance to broaden their consumer base.
Top-tier purchasers from major retail chains, wholesalers, and distributors are drawn to the Expo. Connecting with decision-makers who are actively looking for new suppliers and goods is an opportunity for exhibitors.
