Brisbane Fitness and Health Expo to return

After a successful debut in 2011, the Brisbane Fitness and Health Expo is to return this year with the event to be held on the weekend of 20th and 21st October at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

With 4,000 visitors and 70 exhibitors attending the inaugural Expo in 2011, organisers are keen to expand the event in 2012 and build on the appetite for health and fitness solutions shown by the Brisbane public.

Expo Managing Director Jason Greenhalgh expects to see strong growth at the 2012 event in both exhibitor and visitor numbers, with a planned fitness conference and free entry to the Expo for fitness professionals giving the event a greater industry focus.

Greenhalgh explains "with a successful first Expo under our belt I'm very confident of seeing the event expand and offer even more to exhibitors and visitors in 2012."

Crucial to this growth is greater integration of the Expo with the local fitness industry, with plans in place to encourage the industry to take more ownership of the event.

Here Greenhalgh adds "our research has shown us that in 2011, while the Expo was highly successful, our visitor profile was heavily weighted towards the consumer market rather than those in the fitness industry.

"There's always going to be a strong consumer focus to the Expo however moving forward we see the longevity and success of the event being driven by industry participation.

"I'm confident that free entry to the Expo for fitness industry professionals and a fitness conference will offer greater value to the industry."
