In this episode, I speak with Marie Kinsella, the CEO of the International Exhibition & Conference Group.

As former Managing Director and Founder of Australian Exhibitions & Conferences Marie commenced in the events industry in 1989.

Today as the CEO of the International Exhibition & Conference Group, Marie and her team conduct approximately 8 major trade shows annually.

One of those is the Global Sourcing Expo coming up in Sydney in July and Melbourne in November.

During our chat Marie and I dive into:

The benefits of attending the Global Sourcing expo, such as:

• Accessing over 350 Suppliers from small to large scale manufacturers, right here on our doorstep in Australia
• Exploring new and Innovative Supply Chain Solutions 
• Develop & Source new products and categories
• Expand your Network & Connect with Industry

We also discuss who should attend, how to navigate the expo, opportunities to exhibit, shifts in the sourcing landscape, the expo’s global seminar series offering access to a dynamic line-up of industry thought leaders and changemakers, free workshops and so much more.

For those who are committed to delivering optimal business results, the Global Sourcing Expo is a MUST on the annual calendar.

By attending and becoming informed, you will not only become equipped on a Global Sourcing Level, but you will also continue to increase your knowledge bank on a responsible business journey, and together we can collectively continue to drive positive change in the fashion industry.
