Small Business FestivalThe month of August will provide you with an opportunity to learn a few new skills and brush up on your technical expertise thanks to the inaugural Geelong Small Business Festival.
Over forty information sessions, events and networking opportunities are on offer throughout the month of August at no cost or minimal cost. You can pick and choose any number of events that will assist you with your business.
Event topics include social media, branding and marketing, tips on recruiting the right staff, organising your business, leadership, networking, surviving change or how to ‘green’ your business.
Feature events include “Retail Strategies From the Top” hosted by Small Business Victoria and “Unlocking Your Business Value” hosted by the Australian Industry Group. VECCI are offering two training seminars during the month on Tender Writing and Resource Efficiency.
The festival aims to provide you with practical advice that will help you save time and money and support long term business success.
The Geelong Small Business Festival is part of the Victorian Government’s Small Business Festival.
