The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) will deliver a single, targeted, high-end event during the Games in London in 2012 that will showcase Australian capability and expertise in the planning and delivery of major international sporting events.

Australia Unlimited - the gathering of future host cities and nations creating the world's premier sporting events - will take place in the Exhibition Hall of the Australian High Commission (Australia House) on Saturday 28 July 2012.

Aligning with Austrade's focus on growth and emerging markets, this invitation-only event will demonstrate how Australian firms can assist countries hosting major sporting events up until the year 2023 including Brazil, Qatar, the Republic of Korea and Russia.
