The 8 key goals for each Business & Jobs Expo
Promotion — to provide opportunities for businesses and government officials to engage with the local business community. Our Expo events act as host for invisible businesses (primarily home-based, micro, mobile and online) to showcase products and services and connect to generate sales leads, new partnerships, wider connections.
Collaboration – with 60 key industry stakeholders to build Expos through shared promotional actions. Together, we reach more than 20,000 business owners in each region – with a total reach across 6 Expos to 150,000 business owners.
Growth – to ensure each Expo can deliver $1 million + in solid sales leads for the local business community. We aim to host an Expo in each region for a period of five years to provide a highly anticipated annual calendar event.
Information – to connect local business owners with the latest products and services from all levels of Government in a face to face format and to undertake activities to ensure they are up to date with compliance, new funding, digital audits, and new legislation.
Skills Transfer – to deliver Pre-Expo workshops before each Expo to provide businesses with the marketing and operational skills they need to grow and develop.
Charity – where possible, we try to work with local charities so they can connect with businesses — this can be food trucks, donations for expo builds, or part-funded stands.
Celebration – of B2B marketplaces and the local business community. We provide a festive atmosphere as who wants to go to a boring expo — the expos provide a platform that helps connect businesses with each other easily, in a time-efficient and cost-effective way. We acknowledge the hard work that business does and it is our aim to provide fun, information, and inspiring events where bigger and better business can be done.
