Registration for EXHIBITORS 2025
2024 was an action packed year with over 2,200 students attending. We are excited to be now planning an even better 2025 event!
For exhibitors, this provides a unique opportunity to engage with secondary schools across the Northern Beaches and Northern Sydney region in a professional and coordinated setting.
As an exhibitor, your presence allows for direct communication with prospective students to assist them to navigate the choices and options for their future.
This long-running transition Expo has been regionally operating for over 20 years, attracting a broad and diverse range of local, state and interstate exhibitors including leading education and training providers.
The event connects young people in senior years of high school to education/training providers, employment services, employers, apprenticeship/traineeship services, disability providers, government services, and other support services to help them make informed decisions about their future.
Youth Up Front is a youth-centred registered charitable organisation servicing the Northern Beaches and Northern suburbs of Sydney. Operating for over 30 years, we manage a range of programmes, which connect young people with business, education and community.
