Franchising Expo - Sydney 2027
The Franchising Expo returns to Sydney on 29-30 May 2027 at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), Darling Harbour, 14 Darling Drive, Sydney NSW 2000. It runs alongside the Start Your Own Business Expo, and a single ticket gives access to both shows.
The show has run for more than 35 years and brings together over 100 franchise brands and business-service exhibitors covering food and beverage, retail, fitness, education, legal and accounting services, marketing and technology. Free seminars run every half hour on the show floor across planning, marketing, sales, operations, finance and legal requirements, and a new Tradie Pavilion is planned for 2027 to support tradies and handymen looking to start a business.
Opening hours are 10am to 5pm daily on both days. Earlybird adult tickets booked before 1 May are AUD 14, with standard adult tickets at AUD 28 and children aged 16 and under admitted free when accompanied by an adult. ICC Sydney is in the heart of the Darling Harbour precinct, a 10-minute walk from Central and Town Hall stations and accessible by light rail, ferry and train, with parking nearby.
The organiser also runs the same show in Brisbane on 6-7 March 2027 and Melbourne on 7-8 August 2027, with a Perth edition planned for a future year.
