The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) will be represented as a major partner at the 10th edition of International Sourcing Expo Australia 2019 to showcase the strength of India’s apparel and textile exporters for the seventh continuous year.
The expo, to be held from November 12-14, 2019 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre will attract some of the world’s leading apparel, accessories, textiles and footwear suppliers.
More than 4,000 trade visitors from Australia’s large fashion retailers, niche fashion brands, start-up labels, online outlets and independent fashion designers are expected to attend the event.
The popular runway program, the Global Runway will showcase the collections of emerging and established fashion designers. Positioned on the show floor, the runway show will feature designs from across the globe and are enjoyed by a fashion focused buying audience from Australia and beyond.
Insightful seminars for valuable market insights
An insightful series of the Global Sourcing Seminars will provide valuable market insights and business tips to Australian buyers. The comprehensive three-day program led by international industry experts and keynote speakers is a major attraction for the visitors. The show will also feature seminars that will teach the exhibitors different methods to target the Australian market and understand more local trends and seasonality.
The 2019 edition of the show is expected to attract a wider participation than its 2018 edition. India’s participation across both the International Sourcing Expo and Footwear & Leather Expo was the largest of all national representations in 2018 with a total participation of 130 companies across the two events. FIEO has led the very strong participation by Indian export organisations and exhibiting companies at the show. In 2018 participation included Apparel Export Promotion Council, Wool and Woollen Export Promotion Council, and Handloom Export Promotion Council. This strong and enduring presence confirms India’s continued focus on the Australian market and opportunities.
