Young Entrepreneurs Summit New 2022 Date Announced
Published on 29 September 2021
The Central West Young Entrepreneurs Summit will go ahead in-person next year on Thursday, 17 March in conjunction with Small Business Month.
The summit had been postponed until 25 October this year, however Council has moved the date to 2022 to provide enough time for regional travel to open up and speakers to attend in-person.
“Having our speakers attend in-person gives our attendees the full summit experience, giving them the chance to network and ask questions they may not have had to opportunity to do online,” Council’s Manager Economic Development, Alina Azar said.
“We hosted this event virtually back in 2020 with some great success, but we think our audience is itching to get back to in-person events so a further short delay will ensure we can deliver the experience they’ve been missing over the last two years.
“Council has developed this event with small business in mind, and we have entrepreneurs from a broad cross section of industries from renovation, design and construction, social media, fashion and retail, technology, tourism, agribusiness and hospitality, all sharing their insights.”
Leading next year’s event are The Block favourites Kyal and Kara. Since featuring on the Channel Nine program the couple have launched their own design and construction business and completed more than 35 renovation program as well as building a huge social media following. Co-founder of one of Australia’s biggest swimwear brands, Budgy Smuggler, Adam Linforth will share his experiences developing a fashion brand that is now shipped internationally. Founding partner of Straight to the Source, Tawnya Bahr, will discuss agribusiness and matching chefs and the public with growers and farmers, and co-founder of Knafeh, Ameer El-Issa will talk about launching his hugely popular businesses in Sydney, Melbourne and New York.
The Central West Young Entrepreneurs Summit will be held at Parklands Resort, Mudgee on Thursday, 17 March. Tickets are $149 at youngentrepreneurssummit.com.au. Tickets for the October date will be honoured and ticketholders will be contacted by Council.
Council is proud to deliver the Central West Young Entrepreneurs Summit after securing funding through the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 3.
