Exhibitor Information
The Cairns Careers Expo is Far North Queensland’s premier careers and education event, connecting employers, industry representatives, training providers, universities and community organisations with thousands of students, teachers, parents, job seekers and people considering a career change.
Hosted by the Business Liaison Association, the Expo provides organisations with an opportunity to promote career pathways, education and training options, employment opportunities and industry information to a highly engaged regional audience.
Indoor and outdoor exhibition sites are available, with booth inclusions varying according to site type and size. Exhibitors are encouraged to create engaging, interactive displays that help attendees better understand their industry, organisation and available pathways.
A Welcome Function is also held on the evening before the Expo, providing exhibitors, sponsors, educators and industry representatives with an opportunity to network and build professional connections.
