Retail, gift & sourcing
Wholesale buying weeks where retailers place seasonal orders — product display is everything.
Reed Retail Fairs (formerly Reed Gift Fairs) run in Sydney in February and Melbourne in July–August, bringing wholesalers across gift, homewares, fashion, kids and beauty together with independent retailers. Global Sourcing Expo connects Australian buyers with international manufacturers at MCEC.
Buying-fair stands work like showrooms: lots of shelving and display, good lighting, a small order desk, and secure storage for samples over multi-day shows.
