Trade Fair
Each September, TAG hosts a three-day trade fair on a member campus that attracts more than a hundred exhibiting suppliers keen to secure contracts with the co-operative or to introduce new products or services. This is the flagship event on our calendar.
In 2008, our Trade Fair and Conference will be held at the Telstra Dome, Docklands, Melbourne, from Monday 29 September to Wednesday 01 October inclusive.
Last year, 180 Member delegates, nearly all decision makers at some level in their respective organisations, attended from around Australia to listen to tender presentation, be introduced to and sample new products and services and to cast their votes for contracts. Accordingly, exhibitor stalls at the TAG Trade Fairs are keenly sought after by suppliers.
TAG Trade Fair timetable:
- Day 1: Bump-in to the Trade Fair occurs concurrently with presentations by tenderers to Members in a closed room environment. These presentations are in great demand, and bookings are issued on a first come, first served basis. The Trade Fair Dinner for delegates and exhibitors is held in the evening and is an excellent opportunity to eat and drink well and socialise.
- Day 2: Bump-in and presentations continue, with the Trade Fair commencing at 1.00 pm and ending at 8.00 pm. This year, at the request of a number of exhibitors, a networking opportunity will be available at the finish of the Trade Fair, with an informal gathering of delegates and exhibitors in the Trade Fair venue.
- Day 3: Voting Day: Members vote on tenders, while exhibitors bump-out.
As in 2007, the TAG Trade Fair will again be amalgamated with the ACUMA Inc Conference (historically held separately in December), resulting in a greater number and broader range of Member delegates. The event incorporates the ACUMA Inc special interest group seminars and sessions across the three days, as well as the ACUMA Inc awards, which will be presented at the fantastic social evening where 250 delegates and supplier guests will gather..
Those of you who were fortunate enough to attend the 2007 Trade Fair, our biggest and best yet, held at the University of Queensland in Brisbane will be well aware of the value of this event. Please register promptly to secure your stall.
All exhibitor registrations must be made through the formal registration process which is accessible via the Exhibitors link below.
