WEXPO's inaugural event in October 2022 attracted close to 1,000 people to an all-day event at Blacktown Workers Club.
More than $250K in media coverage was generated and social media reach exceeded 180,000 for 65 exhibitors, 15 workshops, two community leader’s forums and keynote lunch address by Westpac Chief economist, Besa Deda.
WEXPO project manager, Michael Walls said this year, WEXPO will be held over four locations representing key growth centres of our region, including – Sydney Hills, Blacktown, Parramatta and Northmead.
“We made the decision to expand the WEXPO concept because we are able to work with businesses and community groups that recognise value in social interaction as a means of public education and business development,” Mr Walls said.
“We’ve made some exciting changes to the entertainment programs at this year’s event which will ensure even more fun, more education and more people turn out to visit exhibitors and workshops.
“At Blacktown, for example we’ve reduced the number of workshops to eight and introduced entertainment in the Diamond Room. It’s about delivering value for visitors and exhibitors.”
