A free Sydney information night for Australian business owners exploring Canton Fair 2026, international product sourcing, procurement and product development.

Hosted by Gravitie at Haymarket HQ, Sourcing Beyond Borders is a practical introduction to Canton Fair and a needs-led approach to international sourcing.

Discover how businesses across hospitality, construction and retail can identify genuine sourcing opportunities, turn them into a clear sourcing brief and explore what could be investigated at Canton Fair.

Gravitie is heading to Canton Fair this October—connecting Australian businesses with manufacturing, product development and sourcing opportunities across one of the world’s largest supplier networks.

Join us in person or virtually for a practical evening exploring what could be sourced, developed or improved for your business—and why successful sourcing starts with understanding what you actually need.

You don’t need to be attending Canton Fair. Gravitie is going—so your sourcing opportunity can travel with us.

Canton Fair demonstrates the enormous scale of what’s possible. Gravitie helps you identify the opportunity relevant to your business, turn it into a proper sourcing brief and determine how it could be investigated at the Fair.

What we’ll cover

What Canton Fair is, how large it is and why it matters
What Gravitie learned from Hotelex Shanghai—and why we’re heading to Canton Fair
How to identify a genuine sourcing, product development or improvement opportunity within your business
Why effective sourcing follows the order: Needs first. Market second. Supplier third.
How a clear sourcing brief reduces wasted time, unsuitable options and costly assumptions
How Gravitie can take a relevant sourcing opportunity to Canton Fair on your behalf

Who this event is for

This evening is designed for Australian business owners, operators and project leaders—particularly across hospitality, construction and retail—who are:

Looking for a product, material, equipment item or supplier
Developing or improving an existing product or range
Planning a venue, project, refurbishment or business expansion
Curious about international sourcing but unsure where to begin
Interested in Canton Fair without needing to attend it themselves

You don’t need an established sourcing brief or prior international sourcing experience. Bring a business need, an unresolved product challenge or simply your curiosity about what may be possible.

Bring your sourcing opportunity

Gravitie will help you begin turning your opportunity into a practical sourcing brief. Paper briefs will be available at the event, or you can complete one via QR code afterward.

Submitted briefs will be reviewed by Gravitie, and we’ll confirm which opportunities are suitable to investigate at Canton Fair.
Submissions close 20 October, ahead of Gravitie’s departure for the Fair.
