The Brisbane Tertiary Studies and Careers Expo (TSXPO) is one of Queensland’s leading education and career events, bringing together students, parents and institutions in a highly focused environment. It is designed to help attendees explore pathways, compare options and gain clarity on their next steps.

With a strong emphasis on practical decision-making, the event creates a space where visitors can engage directly with universities, TAFEs, private colleges and training providers. From course comparisons to career insights, TSXPO offers exhibitors a valuable opportunity to connect with a highly motivated audience at a critical stage of their journey.
