The 2026 Metcash Food Expo, held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on 11th July 2026, proved to be one of the busiest and most exciting events on this year’s conference calendar—and for the team at Elite Transfers, it was one of our biggest operational weekends to date.
With hundreds of exhibitors, suppliers and delegates travelling from across Australia, our fleet was kept busy providing reliable airport transfers between both Gold Coast Airport and Brisbane Airport. Over several days, we coordinated a continuous schedule of arrivals and departures, ensuring guests reached their hotels, conference venue and return flights on time.
A Showcase of Professional Event Transport
Large conferences demand more than simply moving passengers from A to B. They require meticulous planning, clear communication and flawless execution.
Our operations team worked behind the scenes to coordinate vehicle scheduling, monitor flight arrivals and adapt to changing itineraries, allowing delegates to travel with confidence while event organisers focused on delivering a successful conference.
An Evening at Rick Shores
The highlight of the weekend came on Saturday evening, when one of our long-standing corporate clients entrusted Elite Transfers with the transportation for an exclusive dinner at the iconic Rick Shores Restaurant in Burleigh Heads.
The event involved:
- 30 individual transfer movements
- 118 VIP guests
- Seamless return transportation between accommodation and the venue
- Precise timing to ensure every guest arrived and departed comfortably
Thanks to detailed planning and the professionalism of our chauffeurs, the evening ran flawlessly from start to finish. Every transfer was completed on schedule, allowing guests to simply relax and enjoy one of the Gold Coast’s most celebrated dining experiences.
Built on Trust
What made this event especially rewarding was that it marked the third consecutive year this valued client has chosen Elite Transfers to manage transport for their prestigious annual function.
Repeat business like this is something we’re incredibly proud of. It reflects the trust our clients place in our team to consistently deliver premium service, professional chauffeurs and dependable event logistics—no matter how large or complex the booking.
