The Global Sourcing Expo will open its doors at the MCEC from 19 to 21 November 2024, bringing with it over 900 exhibitors from 20 countries including India, Vietnam, Türkiye, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Brazil, Indonesia, Fiji, Nepal and more.
“The expo is designed to expand the sourcing opportunities and industry insights on offer to local designers, retailers and importers,” comments Marie Kinsella, CEO International Expo Group, organisers of the Global Sourcing Expo.
“Over 85 per cent of our 2023 expo visitors reported that they successfully connected with new suppliers or manufacturers at last year’s shows. This is testament to the quality of the expo exhibitors.”
Several participating trade associations and groups are confirmed for the upcoming Melbourne Expo including Swyan Udyogi Nari, an NGO of Women Entrepreneurs of Kolkata and the Export Promotion Council of Handicrafts of India.
“These associations are key players in their markets and supply chains, promoting the vibrancy of their sectors through advocacy, accreditation and education, providing guidance to their members. They also serve as a link between stakeholders and governments.
“They offer essential connections for expo visitors, especially for brands starting on their sourcing journey and wanting certainty, credibility and guidance.”
The Global Sourcing Seminar series features a lineup of presentations and panel discussions from industry experts including Paul Zahra (CEO, Australian Retailers Association), Brian Goldberg (trademark attorney), Rick Lambell (founder and CEO of Beyond Sustainable Retail Group) and Liam Salter (founder and group CEO of RESET Carbon).
With sessions focused on new regulations, AI and marketing, traceability and sustainability as well as supply chain management, these seminars will offer invaluable insights, adds Kinsella.
“This year’s seminars filled with fresh content, will put attendees at the forefront of the latest trends, developments and regulations in sourcing and fashion, providing them with actionable strategies for success.”
In addition, visitors can look forward to hundreds of exhibitors from 20 countries, showcasing a wide range of apparel, footwear, textiles and homeware products.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to discover new trends and connect with over 900 manufacturers and suppliers from around the world. It’s easy to place orders directly with these suppliers, saving time and money.”
