Following the success of the recent Reed Gift Fairs Sydney in February, the organiser has announced that it will be expanding the fair across two levels of the ICC in Darling Harbour, returning to its pre-pandemic footprint.
The fair will once again be co-located with Life Instyle, showcasing more than 600 exhibitors at the ICC, Darling Harbour forming summer’s biggest week of retail for keen and discerning buyers.
Trade shows around the world are finally returning to pre-covid footprints and the momentum will continue to build in 2025, believes Cory McCarrick, portfolio director.
“Retailers will benefit from being able to see all the very best wholesalers in the one location and they want to see as much variety as possible,” he explains.
“Having 600 of Australia’s favourite premium and emerging wholesale brands under the one roof makes it considerably easier for buyers to manage their time and find everything they need at Reed Gift Fairs across two whole floors of ICC Sydney.
“Retailers can expect to find the very best wholesalers at Darling Harbour including hundreds of new suppliers and spend more time seeing and feeling new products to take back to their stores,” he adds.
In the meantime, Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne is fast approaching (3 to 6 August at the MCEC) and McCarrick says this will be the largest Reed Gift Fairs event since pre-pandemic times.
“We will be welcoming back some exciting brands such as Splosh, Florabelle, Elme Living, Holly & Ivy, Coast to Coast, Floral Interiors, Canvas & Sasson and Urban Products.”
