Small business operators in the Tweed are encouraged to jump on board and participate in a smorgasbord of activities as part of this year’s October Business Month.
Building on the success of last year, Tweed Shire Council is pleased to be delivering an enhanced schedule of events for October Business Month in 2024, with the NSW Government’s Small Business Month – Northern Rivers Expo set to anchor the month-long celebration.
The Northern Rivers Expo will be held at Twin Towns Conference and Events Centre at Tweed Heads on Tuesday 15 October, from 1 to 7 pm, and includes a day of innovation and networking, with top industry professionals and emerging talent coming together to showcase the latest advancements and trends, as well as exclusive access to informative sessions with thought leaders.
Council has put together a calendar of 10 free events on either side of the Expo, tailored to cater to the Tweed’s diverse business community. These events collectively aim to provide invaluable opportunities for skills development, networking, knowledge sharing and celebrating business triumphs in the Tweed.
Director Corporate Services Warren van Wyk said Council will host a series of free events throughout October that aim to help the local economy thrive and create sustainable opportunities for the long term.
“The opportunities offered throughout October Business Month reflect our ongoing commitment to genuine engagement and supporting businesses to thrive in the Tweed,” Mr van Wyk said.
“This year, there is a strong focus on future growth and innovation. We’re committed to providing our businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the evolving landscape and achieve long-term success.
“October Business Month is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to come together, share their successes, and learn from one another. It’s a time to celebrate our community’s resilience and innovation and to look forward to the future with optimism and determination.”
As part of the month’s activities, Council will host a series of ‘What’s Coming’ conversations to share key developments and upcoming opportunities with Tweed businesses. There will be business open days, workshops on sustainability, branding, and unpacking how to do ‘good’ business with Council.
Fun networking events at The Citadel in Murwillumbah will encourage all businesses in the area to join in, meet each other, share stories and create camaraderie.
Mr van Wyk said Council’s support of October Business Month was just one aspect of its Succeed in the Tweed initiative, which continues to serve as the go-to concierge for business opportunities and support in the Shire.
“October Business Month is a testament to the talent, resilience and vibrancy that define the Tweed’s business landscape. Let’s make this October the best one yet!” he said.
