A sneak preview of just some of what you will discover
OF QUEENSLANDS GIFT EVENT! - Gift ...
You’re invited!
It’s time to reconnect with the Queensland Gift & Lifestyle industry face-to-face in real time at the Expertise Gift & Lifestyle fair
kicking off July 3 to 5 at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre.

This LIVE event is about bringing the Gift & Lifestyle community back together conveniently in your home state and all under the
one roof – a reunion you cannot miss!
We all know 2020 and the start of 2021 has been a turbulent time for retailers and this year is the year for retailing bravery.
We have seen a rapid acceleration in online retailing with some retailers producing record results as they pivoted to online and
benefited from an uptick in consumer spending, whilst others have suffered.
Retail 2025 has arrived today!
What does this mean for retailers and consumers? How can we think about the shape of our business in order to ride the wave
of transformation?
Coming together safely and efficiently is just around the corner so let’s discover the answers together and celebrate! The fair will
offer you an opportunity to develop and strengthen connections with suppliers and other retailers, an important step as we
re-establish our pathway forward.
The future is all about maintaining the momentum and ensuring you have a plan for the year ahead which will deliver differently to
2020. Share success, solutions and ideas with peers and discover new products and inspiration for the coming months.
Gift product selection is tactile and visual. As you know, you cannot fully appreciate the true colour, weight, handle, lustre and
feeling of a piece online. Some things can only be fully appreciated when you have them in your hand.
Attending in 2021. The safety of all attending is paramount and under our program, Expertise Safety Matters, we have taken
all the Health and Government guidelines into account to allow you to meet with confidence.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new bigger and better home of the Gold Coast; our team and the suppliers on show
have missed you and can’t wait to see you.
Whether you come to buy, network, or just need that inspiration injection, discover it all only at the Gold Coast LIVE – created
for YOU!
The Fair is presented by Expertise Events, a business, like so many retailers, we are an Australian family business who has
weathered the last 15 months and 100% invested in your success.
See you at the fair.

The new emerging marketplace forces companies to be far
more innovative, creative and disciplined in determining
what the offer is, and the strategy behind it – more than

This all represents opportunity and plenty of room for
growth, but you need to be prepared to change and move
