Calling all Nat, Nut, Herbie, and Praccie students and new grads.
Calling all Practitioners who are here to make a comeback.
I’m talking to all of you who’ve had time away.
To those who haven’t handled a bottle of herbs in some time.
To those who haven’t picked up a prescription pad for a while.
To all who’ve been kept from the profession by the pandemic, family responsibilities, or that ‘other’ job…
I get it – life happens.
But if you want 2026 to be the year you return to the profession and launch your practitioner business for good, then NatExpo Liftoff is where you need to be.
The startup practitioner expo, unlike any other.
One room.
One day.
200 practitioners, lifting off together at…

We’ve curated an outstanding selection of industry experts to bring you an unparalleled experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the best and create a foundation for success in your professional journey.
LiftOff was born from my own journey. I’m Tammy - a practitioner with over 15 years of experience. I took a break from clinical work to focus on mentoring, and then decided it was time to come back.
I thought it would be simple.
But with so many ways to start over, I found myself practically working full-time just to research my options.
Then came the endless forms, each one leading to yet another round of emails asking for more documents to support the documents I’d already sent.
It shouldn’t be this hard to find your way back.
I know this landscape well.
I’ve navigated these paths before.
And if it’s this challenging for someone like me, I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel for someone just starting out - without a map to guide them.
So I reached out, calling for a gathering of people who shared this vision. And they answered.

Event Conclusion
speakers and program subject to change without notice
A careers expo like you’ve never seen in our profession.
I have a dream that we can create a paradigm shift in healthcare that ripples into the health of the planet and its people, and it starts with you.
The Venue
The 2026 LiftOff Expo is set to take place at one of Queensland’s premier event spaces:
- Brisbane ~ Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC)
Nestled in the heart of South Bank and surrounded by leafy green spaces, vibrant cafes and easy transport links, BCEC provides the perfect blend of convenience, comfort and connection for our community of health professionals.
While your ticket includes access to the full-day event and all sessions, accommodation is not included giving you the freedom to choose a stay that fits your vibe and budget.
We’ve chosen BCEC for its accessibility and top-tier facilities to help you fully immerse yourself in this next-level experience with clarity, ease and inspiration.
- Coming from interstate?
This venue is easily accessible via a quick trip on the air train to South Brisbane Station from the airport.
- Conference Discount for Novotel Accommodation
Attendees are emailed this information, or you can reach out to admin@naturopathicfutures.com for info.
Why Attend LiftOff?
Unlike other industry conferences with ticket prices 10X our rates, our prices are kept low as we aim to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. We are committed to providing an incredible value experience, especially for those willing to take action quickly with our bargain early bird tickets!
Why? Because we know how difficult it can be to run a practice and a start-up business, so we don't want to put extra challenges in your way to receiving the latest and greatest information out there to build your career. We also understand how difficult a whole day out of your working schedule can be, but the rewards are definitely worth it!
This is our 7th NatExpo event and 3rd Liftoff conference, and we know that our incredibly generous sponsors alone provide more than the value of a ticket in your attendee swag bag! So if you're just starting out, there is NOTHING LIKE THIS kind of knowledge and value available elsewhere.
Ready to lift off into your most aligned year yet?
We’ve crafted the ticket tiers to reward those who jump in early - and trust us, they go fast!
