Who can attend Show Your Ability

We welcome all visitors. Our expo is popular with disabled people and their whānau, as well as healthcare professionals including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, caregivers, district nurses, needs assessors and ACC case managers. We host a range of service provider organisations, alongside disability equipment and information suppliers.

What to expect at Show Your Ability

Show Your Ability is a trade show which can be busy at different times of the day. We ensure our venues have additional dedicated disability parking, plenty of space for wheelchairs, powerchairs, service dogs, and other mobility equipment.

All venues have cafes on site, and public transport is available close by.

As a trade show, Show Your Ability can be noisy and while we ask our venues to avoid loud works/construction during the expo opening hours, this is not guaranteed. If you do have sensory needs, please contact us as we will see what we can do to support your experience at Show Your Ability.

We proudly recognise the Hidden Disability Sunflower lanyard, and encourage exhibitor and attendee responsibility around COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
