Sydney Disability Connection Expo 2023

16th – 17th June 2023
10am – 4pm both days

If you are one of New South Wales’ 150,000 NDIS participants, how do you find or connect to the right provider to make the wisest choices for your allocated funding? And if you are an NDIS provider, how can you reach out to make vital connections with the right clients? By heading to one of our national 2023 Disability Connection Expos is how!

With around DIS services for the first time and learning how to navigate the scheme, there’s never been a better time to bring participants and NDIS business providers together, and the Sydney Disability Connection Expo 2023 Presented by Afford, on July 1 and 2 is the perfect event.

The best way to find that perfect solution to those NDIS questions and challenges, or to source vital goods and services, is for the providers and participants to come together and connect, to actually meet, face-to-face, under one roof – and the ICC Sydney is the perfect venue for that.

We leverage technology so visitors can view the list of exhibitors, understand who the providers are beforehand and even pre-book private consultations with providers via our special expo app.

We’ll even be doing lots of live streaming over the two days so participants who aren’t there know about you too!

As well as entertainment and activities throughout the two days, we will have an NDIS Q&A Concierge Desk manned by experts, dedicated to answering every and all of your questions, or pointing you in the right direction.

If you’re a passionate NDIS provider and you know you have more capacity to help more people but you are struggling to cut through the noise, or you are a participant or carer seeking help and solutions, then we’d love you to join us at the Sydney Disability Connection Expo 2023.
