Eligible exhibitors for the ATSA Independent Living Expos can apply for funding to attend or exhibit at the events in Perth and Melbourne in May. It follows the shows being confirmed as approved events under the Australian Government’s Business Events Grants program.
The program will provide potential businesses with financial assistance to attend and exhibit at approved expos, conferences or conventions throughout the year, providing grants between $10,000 and $250,000.
Grants may cover event costs including travel, accommodation, marketing and promotional materials, exhibition registration, stand development, equipment hire and networking functions.
In late 2020, ATSA prepared their submission to have the ATSA Independent Living Expo recognised on the approved events list for the Business Events Grant. The application was successful and the shows are now on the Schedule of Approved Business Events.
“After the forced delay of the ATSA Independent Living Expo’s in 2020, we are excited to be focused on reigniting these events and are looking forward to seeing our members at the shows,” ATSA executive officer, David Sinclair said.
Applications close at 5pm on March 30, 2021 AEST, or when all funding has been allocated.
