DISABILITY and Ageing Expos

The Disability and Ageing Expos is an event that is extremely important for people with a disability and for those who are ageing. The Disability and Ageing Expos provide the latest information on an extensive range of services and products in one accessible location and enables people to make informed choices. DIRC has established an annual Disability and Ageing Expo in Adelaide at the Adelaide Event and Exhibition Centre and two regional expos across South Australia.

2012 Mt Gambier Expo Date Change

Please note the following urgent change of date and time regarding the Disability and Ageing Expo, Mount Gambier which was to be held Friday 23 March 2012.

Through circumstances outside our control, it has been necessary to change the date of the Disability and Ageing Expo to Friday 1 June 2012.

We sincerely hope that this will not cause you any inconvenience and encourage you to attend at the new date in June 2012.

Registration can be made at http://exporeg.dirc.webfactional.com/.

Registrations for exhibitors will now close on 1 May 2012.

Further, taking into account the valuable feedback from Sponsors and Exhibitors from the Disability and Ageing Expo 2010, we have decided to implement a number of changes:

In response to comments regarding the entertainment and music being too loud, the event will only have soft acoustic background music.
In response to concerns about the event being too long, this year the Expo will be open from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.
Several other positive inclusions to the day will be in the format of a number of workshops of interest to both people with disabilities and people who are ageing. These will be publicised closer to the event.
Several exhibitors also requested the provision of an area to sit and have a coffee and something to eat. We are working to provide this.

The venue is relatively large and we aim to make it as welcoming and friendly as possible.

There is still the need for additional sponsorship support for this event. We sincerely encourage you to consider being a sponsor and ask that you contact us to discuss this if you feel your organisation or business would be in a position to provide support to this worthy event. If you have not already received a Sponsorship Prospectus, we would be happy to send one to you. Alternatively, if the sponsorship levels in the prospectus do not meet your needs, we can discuss other options for supporting the Expo financially.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding these changes, please contact Jennie Liebich on 0400929873 on Thursdays and Fridays.
