Community invited to exhibit at conference Market Day
Held at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ), the day will allow conference delegates from more than 20 different countries to purchase local items and receive information from the markets. Market Coordinator Mabbie Elson said the Market Day is also a good opportunity for local people to showcase their products to an international audience. 'The markets will be great exposure for people from Toowoomba and surrounds,' Ms Elson said. 'It’s also a good opportunity for the conference delegates to take home something special from the conference in Toowoomba or access relevant information.' Organisers are hoping to hear from organisations wanting to showcase local products, art and craft or information of interest to women. They are also looking to hear from people with products and services of different cultures. 'We’re looking for exhibitors with an international flavour. Toowoomba has a diverse multicultural community and we’d like to be able to show this.' Market organisers have already received interest from a number of exhibitors keen to display their products to delegates. 'We’ve got Crows Nest Lavender coming along and they’ve got some lovely hand creams and face creams. We’ve also got jewellery stalls, Aboriginal art, a book stall and information for business women.' Exhibits will be set up around the USQ Refectory with some outdoors and others spread out inside. The markets will run from 10am to 2pm.
