Trade Fairs

Normally held in October of the hosting year, generally in conjunction with the AIS AGM, this event has become the hallmark in the AIS calendar. 60 to 65 of our suppliers display their products and offer great deals. It’s a great opportunity to see products or ranges that can’t be shown by supplier representatives on their calls or to discuss a deal that the distractions of the day-to-day business in member stores just makes too hard.

Members can meet with those smaller suppliers who may not have enough staff to call in as often as they would like, or to catch up with other AIS members from all over Australia & Papua New Guinea. In conjunction with the Trade Fair, the AIS Group provides the members with a trade fair specials order book crammed with deals from the participating suppliers giving another opportunity for members to buy better and improve their GP.
