The Greater Shepparton Business Centre (GSBC) is proud to be hosting its own festival for Victoria’s Small Business Festival during August 2015.
Shepparton will host several Small Business Festival events that have been developed in partnership with a number of organisations from across the region.
The Festival features an extensive program of business events providing inspiration, ideas and information for anyone starting or building a business.
The annual Festival comprises more than 300 individual events held in venues throughout metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria.
Greater Shepparton Mayor Dennis Patterson said “there are a number of seminars to be hosted in Greater Shepparton including online and offline networking, how secure is your brand online and Chamber of Commerce events.
I encourage small business owners to get involved in the festival and take the opportunity to hear from some experts in their fields or even just network with other small business owners”.
“Formerly having owned a small business, I see the value in these types of events as a way to build and update your skills and share ideas with other like-minded people.”
“For those who are time-poor and can’t get to the events, there is also a series of webinars running throughout the festival.” Cr Patterson said.
