City of Coffs Harbour’s 6 degrees team and its partners have curated a Connect for Success business events program that is sure to inform and inspire local business people and take them to the next level of success.

“From hospitality and retail to the circular economy and agrifood – experts will share their knowledge and motivate you to grow your own venture,” said Natalia Cowley, City of Coffs Harbour General Manager.

“By attending Small Business Month events you’ll have access to some of the best in the business.  Get ready to be inspired by new ideas and learn from other business experiences and achievements.

“At City of Coffs Harbour we are firmly focused on growing our local economy across a range of industry sectors.  Putting on programs like this is a foundation approach of our strategy.  I’m excited to meet our local businesses and hear about emerging industry trends.  The networking is also going to be invaluable for our local business community.”

The entire Connect for Success program is complimentary for all local business-people and there is a wide range of subjects and forums to choose from.

The program will feature:

  • A workshop to encourage staff retention in retail and hospitality – discover practical steps that regional businesses can implement in their workplace.
  • A creative industries mini-conference and networking event.
  • Agrifood insights on growing your business through value-adding, reaching new markets, and exploring a future Coffs Coast Food Hub.
  • The Circular Economy – what it is, how big it is, and how it’s relevant to your business.

Each event will take place in a different local venue. All thanks to funding by the NSW Government as part of Small Business Month and in collaboration with Blacklight Collective, Coffs Coast Business Women’s Network, MidWaste, Coffs City Centre, Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce and Sawtell Chamber of Commerce.
