The event is traditionally strongly supported by local and international sponsors and exhibitors.

 This world class venue will enable us to expand the number of exhibitors and delegates and we expect a record number of trade suppliers and other service providers at this popuilar event.

The theme for this year's Expo is "Bringing the Industry Together".  We are proud of the reputation that this event has gained over the years but we now believe that there is an opportunity for it to become an industry wide event for our business sector.  Our aim is to broaden its reach beyond the MLAA membership.

  • A two-day trade exhibition
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Networking opportunities
  •  A well known celebrity speaker
