Welcome to the Eco Expo
“Let’s Save the World”
The Eco Expo is not forcing you to take drastic measures, but instead encouraging each of us to take at least one eco step toward being more sustainable. If we all take one step then as a whole, we can make a significant difference.
Free Seminars
The Eco Expo offers free eco workshops and sustainability seminars are open to the public. Previously we have had notable guest speakers such as legendary Sea Shepherd Captain Peter Hammarsted; sustainable gardener, Kate Wall; vegan activist, Scott Wallace; and Isabella Morand speaking on the Australian Conservation Foundation’s strategy to put climate damage on the agenda at the next Federal Election.

For Foodies
With the Brisbane Eco Expo returning in 2019, new stalls and food lover experiences will be available!
For foodies that are wanting to find eco-friendly choices to every day alternatives, a dedicated sector will be open offering food and wine options that are chemical-free, natural, fair-trade, gluten-free, certified organic, and non-GMO. In 2018, the Eco Expo had the pleasure of having several food stalls on board including ‘Tatty’s Superfoods’, ‘Carabean’, and ‘Peace Love Crepes’.
Who doesn’t love the idea of a gourmet three course Eco Dining Experience, paired with wine!? The Eco Expo held it’s first Dining Experience – The Progressive Picnic daily in the VIP lounge, which was hosted by Brisbane eco event superheroes The Commune Space, along with The Environmental Cowboy. The 3 course asian inspired menu was designed by recent TV winners and celebrity chefs Alex and Emily, and was paired with delicious vegan and organic wines from ‘Raw Vine Estate’ and ‘Tamburlaine Organic Wines’.

The ‘Vegan Pop Up Market’ run by the Brisbane Vegan Market crew, along with vegan cooking demonstrations on stage are available for people conscious about their health, wellbeing, and how their diet impacts the environment.
For Families
This year, families were able to access a range of fun and engaging ‘How To’ workshops and performances for kids to inspire our future generation, including activities with Scouts Queensland as well as ‘The Recycleman’.
Mini movers and shakers such as 14 year old environmentalist and worldwide eco activist, Holley Somerville Knott, and Arlian Ecker known as the Plastic Free Boy, also held seminars to teach parents and children about the importance of leading an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Join the 2019 Eco Expo
Australia continuously faces unprecedented social and environment changes, with climate change threatening epic disruption and hardship on a global scale. The Eco Expo operates as a gateway to the flourishing green market in Australia by hosting an array of local and national exhibitors that offer products and services to help our region make greener choices.
The aim of this event is clear – visit the 2019 Eco Expo to find exhibitors taking one or more steps toward making their company and products more sustainable. In turn, you as the consumer can learn about, and purchase products, to help take your one step towards sustainability.
Brisbane is Australia’s most biodiverse and sustainable city. It is also Australia’s fastest growing region, meaning we need to continually be smarter about how we manage finite resources, our space and waste, as well as looking to sustainable systems.
