Hosts wanted for Qld Small Business Week

REGISTRATIONS are now open for small businesses looking to host an event for Queensland Small Business Week 2018 (QSBW) being held from May 28 to June 1.

Minister for Employment and Small Business Shannon Fentiman said the week was a celebration of the state’s diverse small businesses and provides them with the opportunity to discover support programs to allow their business to start, grow and employ.

“Events held during Queensland Small Business Week 2018 will give small business owners the opportunities to learn and network with other small business owners to help them grow and lead to more local jobs,” he said.

QSBW 2018 will feature new events and activities including a Small Business Summit and Celebration of Small Business Dinner held on June 1.

The summit will give small businesses an opportunity to hear from a variety of experts and provide opportunities to collaborate and learn, whilst the Celebration of Small Business Dinner will showcase the new digital gallery featuring Queensland’s 100 Faces of Small Business, which is currently open for nominations.

As a QSBW 2018 event host, you will be supporting small businesses and local operators in your region.

Event hosts are able to promote their events on the Business Queensland website and receive promotional support, while building your organisational profile.

Each event host will receive a pack with a range of print and electronic resources including posters, cards and templates. To register www.business.qld.gov.au/ smallbusinessweek.
