The first gift fair in a year: The Melbourne Gift & Lifestyle Fair

The Melbourne Gift & Lifestyle Fair will be held 20 – 22 March, 2021, at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Registrations are now open.

This trade show presents opportunities retailers in the gift and homewares spaces have missed for the last year.

I like that this is a three day trade show. Three days is a good amount of time, not too long. Here are the times:

  • Saturday March 20, 9.30am to 5pm
  • Sunday March 21, 9.30am to 5pm
  • Monday March 22, 9.30am to 4.30pm

I like that retailers will have an opportunity for buying in a tactile environment and will be able to talk through questions around timing and logistics challenges.

This trade show has an opportunity to be a hit. I certainly plan to attend, along with plenty of other retailers I know who are keen.

    Heard today of major supplier receiving 50% grant for all costs of exhibiting at August Fair. Apparently available to attendees also. Surprised to hear from supplier not from Reed or AGHA.
