The 2014 ACT & Region Indigenous Expo was created in 2012 with the aim of continuously developing and growing effective partnerships between governments, training organisations and employers with the ACT and surrounding communities. The success of the 2012 Expo was overwhelming and this important community event has continued to grow, with 2014 shaping up to be the biggest yet!
The 2014 ACT & Region Indigenous Expo will be held on Tuesday, 24 June 2014 and will be open from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm in the Exhibition Hall at the National Convention Centre.
