ABOUT GET GLOBAL | 26 July 2019, International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney

Get Global is a joint venture between two passionate industry professionals who identified a gap in the market for an outbound industry tradeshow. The show is an innovative and efficient business platform for international suppliers to connect with corporate meeting planners, incentive houses, PCO's, travel companies and anyone else that has international group business from Australia. Get Global, launched in 2017, was hailed a huge success by exhibitors and buyers alike. This innovative format for doing business is an intensive one day exhibition with 100% international product and is NOT your typical tradeshow. Get Global now heading into its third year in 2019, promises more exhibitors (Go Getters), more buyers and more countries represented.

Get Global is the largest event of its kind in the Asia Pacific region.

In 2017 and 2018, Get Global was awarded ‘Exhibition of the Year’ at the National Meetings and Events Australia Awards.
