1. Discover new products and brands
The 2024 Gluten Free Expo in Melbourne is a great place to explore a wide variety of gluten-free products, including foods, beverages, and suppliers. You'll likely find emerging brands, innovative foods, and alternatives that aren't widely available in stores yet. Many will be small brands that can't be found in the large supermarkets making it a worthwhile investment of your time.

3. Networking with Like-Minded People
If you’re gluten-free, either by choice or necessity, the exhibition offers a chance to meet others who share your lifestyle. If you feel brave, you could start a conversation, exchange tips, recipes, and experiences with others who understand the challenges of living a gluten-free life.
4. Sampling Products
One of the attractions of this EXPO is the ability to try new foods. You can sample a wide range of gluten-free foods, which is especially helpful in finding tasty products that fit your diet without the risk of wasting money on something you don’t like. Alternatively, you can purchase products at the expo special price, also giving you the chance to try.

9. Say thank you
Pop in and speak to your favourite gluten free brands. As a gluten free small business owner, I know first hand how hard it is running a small business especially one that caters to those with special dietary needs. There are extra costs of testing, certification, purchasing quality and trusted ingredients that go into each and every meal. We have seen many small business close over the past 12 months, so please take time to acknowledge the businesses you enjoy and share your gratitude.
10. Have Fun!
Lastly, The Melbourne Gluten Free Expo is usually a fun and interesting event. You get to experience new things, interact with passionate people, and enjoy a day dedicated to something you're interested in.
