Agility Fairs and Events is the official freight forwarder and onsite logistics provider to the Digital Health Festival.
Specialising in exhibition freight forwarding – both domestic and international – Agility can ensure that exhibitors’ product, display & merchandise are in the right place, at the right time.
Providing a complete transport, materials handling & storage service, we monitor freight from origin through to exhibition booth, ensuring goods are handled in a professional manner and all formalities/deadlines are met.
If you are using Agility, your goods will automatically be delivered to your exhibition booth and all services provided will be invoiced to you post event.
Agility Fairs & Events offers the following services:
PLEASE NOTE:
The show bumps in on very tight parameters and deliveries will not be accepted at the venue earlier. Furthermore, all freight must be removed from the venue during official move out times, no exceptions. Agility may be instructed by the Event Organiser to remove any freight still onsite at the end of tenancy back to a local Agility depot, at the expense of the exhibitor/contractor. For these reasons, we highly recommend using Agility as their service is door-to- venue and they work weekends and outside normal business hours.
Agility is a key partner to this event and has been engaged to assist you. Prior to the show, Agility will make contact to discuss and determine your individual freight and logistics requirements. In the meantime, please refer to the next section for guidance on how to place work orders.
Domestic [within Australia] freight inquiries:
Please submit your work orders by accessing Agility’s Event Services Portal.

The evacuation alarm is designed to notify all occupants that an evacuation is necessary. When the evacuation alarm sounds, all occupants will be directed by wardens to leave via the emergency exits.
