Yes. Costs related to trade fairs participation are eligible under the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) and we can assist you apply for that – click here for more information.

State government and Industry bodies often host a pavilion or provide some subsidy – give us a call or amil as we generally know about these.

We are appointed by the Show Organisers to essentially ‘be them’ – as their sole representative in Australia and New Zealand. Our role is to assist businesses, Industry Bodies and Government agencies to exhibit at the trade fairs.  

Where the Australian and New Zealand presence is big enough, we coordinate the National Pavilion, including on site support. 

For all trade fairs we secure the best locations for you and provide pre show support from hiring equipment through to wall graphics and advising on promotional opportunities. 

It makes no difference, because enquiries are forwarded to us to handle. There is no additional cost. We are “part of the Show Organising team” and have direct access to the key people, so will be able to talk direct if you have specific location requests. 

No, we are a private company focused only on assisting exporters with trade fairs and funding. Our team of 11 experienced people are located around the country.  

We work closely with Industry Bodies, Associations and Government Agencies, including all the State governments, FIAL, and Austrade (both in Australia and the overseas Posts. 

There are a number of choices, depending on the particular trade fair, depending on your preferences and budget – consider some of these:

• Select a stand location in an area of a Hall that is a sector relevant to you, or close by similar companies or take a stand in the Australian Pavilion, or join a group stand 
• Take a eco friendly system built walk on stand; join the Australian pavilion, or custom build to showcase your brand 

Yes, you can, if you meet the minimum stand size for Space Only stands.  

We can assist you with this – just provide us with your design brief and we will get quotes and visuals for you. We know the best stand contractors who will build quality stands on time at a fair price. 

This depends on the size of your stand.  

A 9sqm stand (3m wide by 3m deep) typically gets up to 4 Exhibitor Badges, which you collect upon arrival at the trade fair. 

Talk to us if you need more. 

Yes. We work with the Official Service Providers and other specialist providers – companies who have a reputation for quality equipment, good service, and a fair price. 

Artwork specifications will be provided, and Exhibitors are to provide us with a ‘ready to print’ artwork about 6 weeks before the trade fair. 

Our stand builder will print and install them for you. 

No. The Show Organiser appoints an Official Freight Forwarder, who works together with the Venue, Organiser and Customs to ensure that your goods make it to your stand smoothly. They will also be able to advise on the necessary documentation required.  

Contact details for freight forwarders are provided in the Exhibitor Manual – which companies get access to once they have confirmed participation.  

Can I use my own freight company?
Yes, but you they must liaise with the Official Freight Forwarder because for large shows, as large as 3 times the size of the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, this is the pathway to get your samples into the Venue. 

Can I ‘hand carry’ my freight? 
Yes, so long as that won’t cause you problems with Customs / Immigration, and so long as you can hand carry into the Exhibition halls (at most you can use your own fold-up hand trolley like those you can buy at Officeworks).
