Aussie businesses rejoice as the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre welcomes their first event back since the pandemic - The Gift & Lifestyle Fair

As life in Australia continues to normalise, events companies and venues across the country are breathing a huge sigh of relief as ‘in person’ events spring back to life, offering a lifeline to Aussie companies following more than a year of financial pain.

The first event back at Melbourne’s Exhibition and Convention Centre is the Gift & Lifestyle Fair by Expertise Events;  a trade event featuring Aussie gift and lifestyle suppliers, manufacturers and retailers. The event is an opportunity to meet face to face, build relationships and explore what’s new in the gift space.

The event has heaps of Aussie products, new products, seasonal and Christmas products, homewares, gifts, fashion and more on display for potential buyers to peruse, uncovering what’s hot and new for this year and beyond.

For people attending the event, there are also workshops and talks to give retailers and product business owners tips and advice on how to build customer loyalty, create a positive digital presence and much more. The event’s goal is to help Aussie retail businesses back on their feet and regain their retail ‘mojo.’

Gary Fitz-Roy from Expertise Events, the organisers of the event said, “Being able to get back to ‘in person’ events is incredibly exciting. We are a small, family owned business, and having been essentially out of business for more than a year, we really understand the struggles that a lot of businesses have been through. The Gift & Lifestyle Show is about getting the retail industry and their suppliers back to business, supporting local manufacturers and giving everyone the boost to get back to business.”

The Gift & Lifestyle Fair is completely free to attend, but attendees need to be in the retail trade. Anyone who wants to attend, simply needs to register online here: https://expertiseevents.eventsair.com/melbourne-gift-lifestyle-2021/rego/Site/Register.

“Nothing beats the opportunity to meet face to face, to have conversations, touch and feel products and build relationships with suppliers and retailers. This relationship building just can’t be done online and so events like this are critical to Aussies being able to recover and put themselves in the best position to bounce back from the year that was,” continued Fitz-Roy.
