Business Collaborations Forum

Hunter 2009- Part of Small Business September 

Tuesday Sept 1, Newcastle City Hall

“No business is an island and the current financial climate highlights how important it is to actively participate in the local business community to share knowledge, make connections and work together to bring life back to our economy. I urge business owners and operators to actively participate in the Hunter and Central Coast Business Collaborations Forum, part of the 10th anniversary of Small Business September, to identify emerging opportunities for the region, to reinforce the passion for your business, to seek new targets, form new partnerships and to position your business to make the most of recovery and the growth that will follow.””  Tony Sansom OAM, Regional Manager, Hunter and Central Coast, Department of State and Regional Development

B2B and B2C events are the original social media tool.

In this economy, as we move through big changes to how we fund, market and drive our businesses, business owners – even those who in the previous decade felt that they had things well in hand – are now looking for inspiration, for new ways of doing business, to identify opportunities to survive the current downturn and thrive beyond it.

The Central Coast and Hunter Business Collaboration Forums are an opportunity to bring the business community together to get that community talking – to have business leaders share and interact with business owners, to challenge local authorities to create the infrastructure required for the future growth of the region, to solidify new business contacts, build valuable relationships and create partnerships.

As can be seen in the name of the event our aim is to create an environment for true collaboration – This is not just about broadcasting information from the main stage; it is about interactivity at every level of business, about building an environment where the people on the ground share, inspire, motivate, learn, be challenged – and take the sometimes unexpected benefits back into their workplace and the local business community.
