The Global Sourcing Expo in Sydney was a success, with strong turnout from retailers and suppliers from 19 countries. IEC CEO Marie Kinsella commended the event for providing a valuable platform for cross-border collaboration.
The Expo attracted major decision-makers, trade buyers, agents, manufacturers, brands, and retail conglomerates, including Kmart, Target, Asics, Aldi, TK Maxx, Bras N Things, and The Iconic. Attendees praised the Expo for its ability to facilitate direct engagement with suppliers and assess product quality firsthand.
The event featured 435 exhibitors from Pakistan, Indonesia, Japan, the UAE, and the US, as well as prominent global trade entities such as the Federation of Indian Export Organisations and the Export Promotion Bureau Bangladesh. The Expo also coincided with the China Clothing, Textile and Accessories Expo, attracting designers, wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, and representatives from retail chains.
The Global Sourcing Expo will return to Melbourne from November 21 to 23, co-located with the Footwear & Accessories Show. This convergence promises to be a dynamic and enriching experience for attendees and participants alike.
