Every year, we ask for your feedback – and for 2025, we’ve turned that feedback into real, tangible improvements. From booth design to event flow and family-friendly features, this year’s Disability, Ageing & Lifestyle Expo is set to be our biggest and most user-friendly yet.
Here are five of the biggest changes we’ve made to deliver a better experience for both exhibitors and attendees:
1. A Smarter, More Accessible Floorplan
We’ve completely reimagined the expo layout based on your input. The new floorplan includes:
- More corner booths for greater visibility.
- Pop-up marquees along the outside edge, a great option for first time exhibitors.
- New premium booths located along the central aisles to drive attention and engagement enhanced with customised marketing campaigns.
- No distractions – the stage has been relocated and resized to prioritise meaningful attendee – exhibitor connections.
2. Easier Setup with Extended Bump-In
We’ve heard you loud and clear – setting up should be simple. So for 2025:
- Bump-in time has been extended, giving you time to make your booth shine.
- We’ve streamlined the entire process – no more check-in desk delays.
3. More Networking, Less Talking
Networking is a key part of the expo, and our new cocktail-style event is designed to make it even better:
- More time for meaningful connections
- Less formal talking, more real conversations This relaxed evening format allows you to mingle, meet and make lasting contacts.
4. More Reasons for Attendees to Explore
We’re introducing two exciting new features to improve attendee engagement:
- The DAL Trail is a treasure hunt-style activity that leads visitors around the expo, encouraging them to visit more booths.
- The Fun Zone is a family-friendly hub full of interactive and inclusive games for every age group.
5. A Seamless, Customisable Booking Experience
We’ve upgraded our online booking system so it’s easier than ever to:
-
- Book your booth
- Customise your package
- Add extras like marketing upgrades or booth enhancements. No back-and-forth emails– it’s all automated and streamlined, giving you more control and visibility.
We’re excited to bring you an even better expo in 2025 – because when you speak, we listen.
