About

Coeliac Australia is working towards the return of the Gluten Free Expos in 2022 after a COVID-related hiatus. The Brisbane Gluten Free Expo will be held at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 11-12 June, 2022. 

The Gluten Free Expo is proudly bought to you by the experts in gluten free at Coeliac Australia and is the only dedicated gluten free event of its kind in QLD. Like other Coeliac Australia’s Gluten Free Expos, the Brisbane event will offer a great opportunity to discover, taste and shop everything new in gluten free food as well as grab a bargain, with many show specials from exhibitors set to be on offer!

​

Coeliac Australia also welcomes Woolworths as Principal Sponsor. Exhibiting for the first time, the Woolworths stand will showcase their fantastic Free From Gluten range and brings a new exhibitor experience for visitors.

 
Look forward to visiting the Gluten Free Expo’s dedicated Education Stage where visitors can listen to expert dietitians and medical practitioners sharing the latest developments on coeliac disease management, research and diet. The Expo will also feature a range of gluten free street food and food truck vendors, a gluten free foodie’s heaven! Don’t forget to visit our team at the Coeliac Australia stand.

Bringing you a COVID-Safe Event

The Brisbane Gluten Free Expo will take place over a Saturday and Sunday, with some changes versus previous years due to COVID-Safe Event requirements.
