Admission Entry Policy to Gift & Lifestyle Melbourne Expertise Events’ (Organisers) purpose in conducting the Gift & Lifestyle Melbourne 2025 (Event) is to provide the Gift, Homewares, Lifestyle and Jewellery industries with a forum to exhibit their products and services, sell and order take, exchange information, and opportunities for business growth, by catching up with past, present and potential new customers. Attendees will see the latest products and services available in the marketplace, and the ability to network and engage with Exhibitors, industry participants and overseas suppliers/manufacturers. Exhibitors are encouraged to be educational, communicative and informative in their exhibit displays and contact with attendees. Our goal is to ensure that we do what we can to ensure your investment is protected and maximised. Exhibitors are there to present, educate the industry, sell, and maximise the exposure of their goods, services and organisation and not be sold to, and equally not to have non-participating organisations promoting themselves at the Event who are not contributing to its success. We ask the Exhibitors on the show floor to work with us in protecting their collective investment. Trade Show Management We reserve the right to restrict access to or to remove any attendee from the Event, for any infraction or non-compliance with these rules. Who Can Attend?
