2020 saw AIFF go virtual as a response to uncertainty around public gatherings and ongoing domestic and international travel restrictions. With domestic borders now open and an appetite for face-to-face networking, we have decided to proceed with a physical tradeshow in 2022.

AIFF and Informa Australia are conscious of our responsibility to protect the health and safety of our visitors, exhibitors, partners and staff. As such, stringent COVID-safe measures will be in place at the event to ensure we adhere to both government advice and Informa’s AllSecure Key Commitments.

Please refer to our COVIDSafe page.

This is a scam and you should ignore them. AIFF operates under strict data privacy laws, and we do not share our visitor or any other internal data with unauthorised third parties.

Any communication you may receive offering you to rent/buy or download our visitor or exhibitor contacts is a scam and should be deleted.

AIFF is a Trade Only Event. Entry is restricted to bona fide members of the furniture & soft furnishings industry and over the age of 16. These include Retailers, Designers, Decorators, Architects and relevant buyers from Hotels, Restaurants, Healthcare, Aged Care, Government, Educators, Real Estate & Building and Construction.
