This year the NSW Seniors Festival Expo will feature over 50 exhibitors! That means more games, more giveaways, more expert advice and more fun to be had.
The Expo will take place on Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 March at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, and the best part is – it’s FREE!
Those who can’t attend the Expo in person have the chance to attend online, and this year’s online offering is even bigger than before.
Online Expo attendees will learn from expert exhibitors as they deliver virtual workshops on nutrition, yoga and fitness, finance, home organising and more. A livestream showcasing performances from the Expo stage will also be available to watch online.
