The Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry has announced a revised program for the 2024 Whitsunday Business Conference.
The Chamber has seized the opportunity to host a shorter event on Thursday 16 May 2024 to coincide with a visit from the Queensland Small Business Commissioner to our region.
The full Whitsunday Business Conference program will now be held in 2025.
The reschedule allows time to create a bigger and better program with a business expo and more opportunities for the business community to get involved.
The Thursday 16 May program will be held 1:00pm-4:30pm at Mantra Club Croc, Cannonvale.
It will preview what to expect from the 2025 Whitsunday Business Conference.
Attendees will be part of a number of timely and provocative conversations on the following topics with other local business owners on:
• What are your business pain points?
• What are the pressing issues facing small business in our region?
You can also learn how to supercharge your people power with tips on:
• How to deal with changing staff attitudes and work ethic
• Young employees through to an ageing workforce
• Finding stability with transient workers and staff turnover
• Diversity and inclusion in small business
• Stories and strategies on re-inventing your business
• Rejecting challenges and overcoming limitations
• How to lead your team to exceed expectations
Have your say on the 2024 Conference to shape the 2025 Whitsunday Business Conference.
The program will be followed by a meet and greet event 5pm-7pm hosted by the Whitsunday Regional Council with the Queensland Small Business Commissioner to better understand her role and discuss challenges and opportunities facing small business in our region.
