Bring your colleagues and friends, plenty of business cards and join us on Tuesday 12 February for a networking experience like no other.

Join us at Fast Forward Speed Networking sponsored by Joval Wine Group.

There’s no better way to grow your business, meet new leads and make new connections, all whilst having a great time, than taking part in our successful Networking event.

Join us on Wednesday 20 March and meet a huge bunch of like-minded individuals over two rounds of speed networking.

You won’t be locked into a long conversation with anyone as you only get two minutes to chat before moving onto the next business contact. So all you need is a brief, punchy narrative about why you are here and what makes your business great, and remember to swap business cards, of course!

After the formal networking rounds, you still have plenty of opportunity to continue the conversation with your new contacts over canapés and drinks.

To ensure we get a great mix of companies, we limit this event to only two people from each business.

So who’s coming from your organisation? Hurry – this event always sells out!

The positioning of Aboriginal tourism as an urban and accessible experience, both as a stand-alone experience and as an integral component within the broader tourism industry, may not always be straightforward. Tourism businesses face a unique set of cultural considerations in finding connection between tourism and the Aboriginal culture and community.

This workshop will provide you with some knowledge around Aboriginal culture in Victoria from a business perspective, enabling you to respectfully approach Aboriginal communities and organisations and craft an authentic Indigenous component to your event or experience.

When – Tuesday 26 March, 9am to 5pm

Venue – Holiday Inn Melbourne on Flinders
