ABOUT THE EXPOMART The ExpoMart is an integral part and the networking hub of the Convention showcasing the most up to date products, services and technology. The MFAA designs the professional development and social program with the objective of generating maximum attendance in the exhibition area, ensuring a steady flow of delegates. To achieve this objective, delegate catering will be held within the exhibition area on Thursday and Friday.
Entry to the ExpoMart is complimentary for MFAA members and we envisage this will attract a large number of additional people to the ExpoMart, providing you with added exposure to your target audience.

This year’s MFAA was the busiest and most fruitful yet. I’d like to compliment the MFAA team for such a professional event and experience. I exhibit at a lot of events throughout the year and find that the MFAA event is always the best run.
